Disseny, estructura i característiques d'una xarxa de CDROM en una biblioteca universitària.

En aquest article es descriu la implementacio d'una xarxa de CD-ROM en una biblioteca universitària, així com la integració d'aquesta en una unitat de documentació. Es comenten les característiques de la xarxa,problemes tècnics, llicències de xarxa i aspectes d'ampliació i accés remot.
