Local Automation Model: System Specification,

Abstract : This document contains a system specification for the Local Automation Model (LAM). The LAM will provide DoD Technical Libraries in the Shared Bibliographic Input Network a local automated information system to improve the management of DoD bibliographic information. The proposed system will replace the existing manual and batch procedures by technical library personnel. The system will provide automated storage of local bibliographic files and access to both local files and the DTIC Technical Reports Data base. Contained in this system specification are a summary of the system characteristics and requirements, a description of the system operating environment (including equipment, software, interfaces, and security) and a discussion of the design details (including general operating procedures, system logic flow, system data, and program descriptions).
