+                   Network Library Information System
+
+        Georgetown University is designing a Learning Resource Center
+   (LRC), part of which may consist of a system to enable computer query
+   (hopefully on-line) of G.U.'s Library holdings.  The ARPA community
+   might be of assistance in either of two ways:
+
+        1.  One or more organizations may have a Library Retrieval
+            System that they would like to share with Georgetown.
+
+        2.  Since there probably are needs for such a system at most
+            organizations, and since it would be highly beneficial
+            for one organization to be able to query other library
+            holdings as well, and subsequently arrange for inter-
+            library loans, the ARPA community might undertake to
+            design a Network Library Information System.
+
+        If sufficient interest in such a system exists, a working group
+   could be set up to establish the necessary protocols and iron out
+   details of the system.
+
+        It is probable that the NIC could provide valuable inputs to such
+   an undertaking and perhaps would serve as a focal point for the system
+   design and operation.
+
+        Please contact me if either:
+
+        1.  You have, or know of a Library Retrieval System that
+            can be shared with Georgetown University,
+
+        2.  Your organization is interested in participating in a
+            Network Library Retrieval System, or
+
+        3.  You are interested in participating in designing such a
+            system.
