DESIGN: Modular, relational database; FoxPro (Windows) 2.5 applications programming (proposed); MS-Windows application (convertible to MS-DOS or MAC) COMPONENTS: BIBLIOGRAPHIC INTERFACE (fully programmed). Description: Strips information from captured NOTIS, OCLC or RLIN records for use throughout the sub-system. Not a true or real-time interface; requires that bibliographic, holdings and other records be downloaded to disk as ASCII file information. May be programmed as a true or real-time interface if/when systems allow. Records created from this "interface" become base records for system operations. Priority: UF: 06; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. CONSERVATION ASSESSMENT (fully programmed). Description: Records structural and condition information to determine effects of filming, conservation treatment requirements of items being filmed, etc. This component may eventually be developed as or linked to a Conservation sub-system within the Preservation MIS. Structure of recorded information will not exclude information report as USMARC 583 field data. As represented here, this component only records information necessary for reprographics support. Priority: UF: 04; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. BRITTLE BOOKS PROCESSING (fully programmed). Description: Records condition assessment, bibliographic search information, collection manager information, etc. pertinent to brittle books processing. Priority: UF: 02; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. DECISION SUPPORT (fully programmed) Description: Supplies suggested action based upon supply of local conspectus information, collection profiles, etc. as available. Priority: UF: 07; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. ELECTRONIC IMAGING (node only) Description: Node, intended for future development supporting processing routines particular to electronic image management (both in-house and contract), including packing information, programming, queuing support, etc. Priority: UF: 03; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. PRESERVATION MICROFILMING (fully programmed) Description: Supports processing routines particular to management of preservation microfilming operations (both in-house and contract), including packing information, tracking, reel programming, queuing support, etc. Priority: UF: 01; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. PRESERVATION PHOTOCOPY (partially programmed) Description: Supports processing routines particular to management of preservation photocopying operations, including packing information, tracking, queuing support, etc. Priority: UF: 05; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. PROCESSING AND STORAGE (fully programmed) Description: Supports end-processing and storage routines particular to reprographic products, including labeling, packing information, storage data, etc. Also supports condition assessment of stored products and management information pertaining to use for distribution or regeneration. Priority: UF: 08; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. INFORMATION REPORTS (fully programmed) Description: Reports and machine analyses of recorded data. Reports include the following: STATISTICAL INFORMATION REPORT (fully programmed) Description: Reports statistical information for activity in all sub-system components. Reports will include production, fiscal and other data, and will be supplied in a format consistent with that of the Association of Research Libraries' Preservation Statistics Questionnaire and several local report models. TECHNICAL INFORMATION REPORT (fully programmed) Description: Reports technical information for "import" into NOTIS, OCLC or RLIN catalog records in both USMARC Bibliographic and proposed USMARC Holdings format structures. Not a true or real-time interface; requires that technical information be formatted as ASCII file information for autotyping into catalog records. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HOLDINGS (fully programmed) Description: Allows construction of bibliographies of reproduced titles, using pre-defined, standard stucture or user-defined, query specific structure. Does not exclude automated, remote searching via Local Area Network (LAN) accessible through Ethernet. Priority: UF: 09; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn. OFF-PRINT MANAGEMENT (node only). Description: Supports management activities related to use of reprographic product(s) to generate off-prints and distribution copies; e.g., computer output microform (COM), (paper) hardcopy, microform, CD-ROM, etc. Priority: UF: 10; Cornell: nn; Composite: nn.
