Abstract
The Computing Information Services (CIS), a network of five specialized libraries devoted entirely to computing information, operates in concert with the Bell Laboratories Library Network in providing services to some 22,000 employees. The CIS is dedicated entirely to computing information in all its forms-computer programs, related documentation, machine manuals, audio/video tapes, books, journals, etc. A full range of current awareness, searching, reference, dissemination, and advisory services is provided using a number of computer-aided systems. The network approach for managing computing information services has yielded dividends and has been integrated harmoniously with the extensive resources of the 18 other libraries in the Bell Labs Library Network.
