THAKUR (Ranjeet S). Transmission Log and CDS/ISIS. 23,2;1998;174-78

An effort has been made to devise a system whereby a transmission log is made out of a library database by retrieving the required data and transferring it to a suitable mode (e.g., a Microsoft excel file) instead of some other department making a transmission log afresh. This would avoid duplication of data entry on one hand and possibility of mistakes at the other. This would also save lot of man-hours.
