LIBRARY   EDIT   AND   ERROR   REPORT—   This report  provides  you  with  information  and  error-type messages pertaining to the ATLC system transactions; those submitted, rejected, and processed. MASTER  LIST  REPORT—   This  report  provides you with information pertaining to each type of media contained in the ATLC system. This report is normally listed in identification number sequence. APPLICATION   REPORT—   This  report  provides you with information pertaining to media assigned to any particular project (supply, payroll, and soon). This report   is   normally   listed   by   project   number   and identification   number. USER/PROGRAMMER   REPORT—   This   report provides you with information pertaining to media that is assigned to a particular user or programmer. It should be   in   user/programmer   number,   release   date,   and identification number sequence. MEDIA TO BE RELEASED REPORT— This report provides you with information pertaining to the media that are scheduled to be released (scratched according to purge  date). It  is  normally  listed  in  identification number and/or in file-ID sequence. LIBRARY  MAINTENACE  REPORT—  This  report provides  you  with  information  regarding  the  media itself, indicating when the media was last cleaned, when it was last stripped (magnetic tape only), and recertified. This  report  is  normally  listed  by  media  type  (tape  or disk) and identification number. OFF-SITE   STORAGE   REPORT—   This   report provides you with information pertaining to the media that are stored off-site. This report is normally listed by media type, release date, and identification number. HISTORY   REPORT—   This  report  provides  you with  various  information  pertaining  to  all  magnetic media classified as history files. This report should be listed  in  media  type,  release  date,  and  identification number sequence. All  input,  changes,  and  deletions  to  the  ATLC systems database (master file) should be accomplished by the librarian to ensure database integrity. You should have   up-to-date   information   on   how   to   properly maintain the ATLC system so you can key-enter (via CRT) new records, make changes to existing records, or delete records entirely. You must also know how to use input   parameters   and   possibly   SCL   parameters   to produce the appropriate output products. The main purpose of any ATLC system is to relieve you of having to maintain numerous logs and library files  by  hand. So,  if  your  AIS  installation  has  an automated library control system, take full advantage of it; otherwise, you can look forward to many, many hours of manual labor. You will also find that the number of tape and disk accountability problems will be lessened considerably under an automated system. Using Remote Terminals Many  tape  libraries  use  remote  terminals  connected to mainframes or minicomputers to help manage their library  functions.  The  automated  library  control  system (ALCS)  is  one  use. Remote  terminal  operation  will include  the  following  tasks: Performing log-on/log-off procedures Entering   proper   system   passwords   to   assure security Inputting data to computer Retrieving data from computer Updating library files using ALCS Querying/searching library files using ALCS Requesting library listings and reports Ensure   that   all   library   personnel   are   properly trained  on  how  to  use  the  library’s  remote  computer terminal.  All  personnel  must  have  a  good  working knowledge   of   the   features   and   functions   of   the keyboard. They must know how to properly logon to the  system  and  how  to  enter  their  access  code.  They must also understand how to gain access to library files and  how  to  input  and  retrieve  data  to  and  from  the computer. They should know how to update and query the library’s database and how to request library listings and reports. Knowing how to close out files they are 2-25
