From the supplier: Recent trends in library automation focus on increasing information access through the Internet and telecommunications, assisting persons with disabilities to access information and handling multimedia collections. CD-ROM integrated systems from companies such as Brodart and COMPanion Corp provide public access, circulation, cataloging and resource sharing capabilities for both IBM and Apple Macintosh computer systems. Products such as Follett Software's MacSearch Plus Station and Catalog Plus link Macintosh users with IBM library systems. Image enlargement software, such as TeleSensory's V View and Geac Computer Corp's OptiView, enable patrons with visual impairments to use library resources. CASPR Inc's Library Works 2.0 for the Macintosh and Data Trek's ImageLink programs provide multimedia storage and retrieval options for libraries. SIRSI's Retrieval Interface Manager and NOTIS Systems' WinGopher packages connect libraries to Internet information resources.
