Abstract

The perils of the Distribution Manager's role are never more clearly illustrated than by the Christmas rush and the January hangover. If Christmas 1988 meant seat of the pants survival, now is the time to reflect on it and plan your strategy for what the pundits say will be a tougher 1989. This article examines how centralised distribution has changed the role's emphasis from physical distribution to supply chain management, and how the successful management of stocks is the key to success.

Abstract

A range of library and information retrieval services are provided by the British Library under the house name BLAISE — British Library Automated Information Services. The author describes the very full range of services now established by the Library concentrating on those concerned with library processing. BLAISE is an example of a fully integrated system with online information retrieval from MARC records (and MEDLARS), online cataloguing, together with output options including full document delivery from the British Library Lending Division (BLLD), COM catalogue production via LOCAS, and, experimentally, book ordering. BLAISE is now available for U.S. users and will shortly be connected to EURONET for cheaper access by European users.
