There art some library software systems available for large-scale libraries.in the market. For instance. MfNISIS [IDRC75] on HP3000, ATLAS [DRA76] on Vax8800, URICA [AWA78] on Microdata and VTLS [HP751 on HP3000. We introduce a small-scale library -circulation system, called ILRCS (Interactive Library Resources Circulation System). It has been designed and implemented on tht V~X/VMS 11-785 mini...

Sustainable product development is currently of concern by scientists within both academia and engineering. Despite existing literature proposed related to detailed aspects for design for sustainability (D4S), the modeling of life cycle driving forces for D4S in different levels remains insufficient. A morphological analysis (MA) approach was applied to explore the strategies in sustainable pro...
