Library—An electronic ordering system

摘要

Library is a UNIX† system command which allows a user to access library services remotely. At present, the available services are: submitting requests for documents (e.g. books, technical reports, internal documents, etc.), doing noninteractive searches of the library's book catalog, ordering photocopies of journal articles and modifying subscriptions to library bulletins. Depending on the service, library may fill the request itself, forward it to a request fulfillment system or format it for an individual to handle.
