Baker is the only major school library at the University without the system except the Graduate School of Design, which uses HOLLIS only for interlibrary record keeping.
Late equipment deliveries and a slower but cheaper installation process have delayed the HOLLIS system's arrival, said Baker Librarian Mary V. Chatfield.
Chatfield said yesterday that the library chose to transmit HOLLIS signals to the public terminals by standard telephone lines instead of by "relatively expensive" specialized HOLLIS cables. She also said "a small technical problem" was causing difficulties in the linkup between Baker and the main HOLLIS computer.
Chatfield added that there will be several differences between Baker's hardware and the HOLLIS machines in other libraries but said the changes will be invisible to the user.
Baker's HOLLIS terminals will also have new, additional software when the system opens to the public. The programs, available primarily for B-School students, will search more efficiently within the Baker collection, Chatfield said.
