Description/Abstract
This article details the struggles of Syracuse University in the early 1970s with the opening of a new library amidst a plethora of problems. Parallels are drawn to the problems of growing catalogs and fledgling mechanization that faced the New York Public Library at the same time. Also mentions the then-nascent MARC format and OCLC.
