Regular readers of LSN will be familiar with MiniMARC, the standalone cataloging support system marketed by Library Systems & Services, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland. In the past year or so LSSI has received particular attention because of its pioneering efforts in the use of videodisc technology for the storage of machine-readable MARC records. Gaylord recently announced that it has agreed in principle to acquire LSSI, which will continue to pursue its areas of interest as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaylord.
