| Summary: | The scope of the California State Library-Processing Center (CSL-PC) project is to develop the design and specifications for a computerized technical processing center to provide services to a network of participating California libraries. Immediate objectives are: (1) retrospective conversion of card catalogs to a machine-form data base, compatible with MARC II; (2) continuing conversion of current cataloging to machine-form data base, compatible with MARC II; (3) incorporation of MARC tapes, distributed by the Library of Congress, into the Center's data base for use in cataloging support; (4) production of book form catalogs; and (5) control of technical processing associated with serials, including ordering, check-in, claiming, binding, accounting and holding lists. Following a definition of the scope of the project, future developments are discussed in a survey of plans and accomplishments of other cognate projects in the area of cooperative library networks. This report also includes: (1) the system description, an overview of system files and system logic for all operating functions; (2) a discussion of production and control, which focuses on the problem and recommended procedures of production and control of source documents during the conversion process; and (3) the conversion program.
