Authors:	Regazzi, John J.

Abstract:	The Carolina Population Institute off-line system which searches a data base drawn from its library holdings and POPINFORM--an on-line system containing a number of data bases from both university and government organizations--are described. The development of these automated information retrieval systems from a disjoint manual system among a variety of institutions to a singular data base is discussed. The preparation and planning techniques required for any library to convert its manual routines to automated ones are outlined. (Author)
