Voyager-applications of an integrated library system
Keywords:
-Abstract
The basis of Voyager is the Ingres relational database management system. It is incorporated in the API, written in C and C++ language and using the possibilities offered by the Solaris operating system. API supports modules with Xwindow surfaces. The five basic modules are: online catalogue for retrieval of bibliographic data and arculation state; cataloguing module for bibliographic data entry and authority control; circulation module for lending, loan extension, advance notes on loan requests, reading room services; acquisition module for filing the purchase of various documents, from ordering to payment and for stock taking; journal module for filing incoming periodicals. These modules have distinct functions but their databases are interlinked, providing a high degree of integration for the entire system. The functions offered by the online catalogue and the structure of the database makes it possible for the OPAC to become the central control element of an electronic library to be created.
