U i OCLC Report on Impact of ATSIT Divestiture A _ I A
_ OCLC has issued a report summarizing the impact, as precicteri to date,   the
· A’I`6£E·diveet1.ture on the cost of telecontmunications to i}C.ai=TE_ the regional»ns·i;w2;rl¤s,

least mitigate, the changes foreseen, and has reported on short and long term _
strategy for   the damage that threatens the online ufilrities and  
. users. - ‘
. A   A » YL- (

 Impact: OClC's telephone bill could, at worst, rise from a sample month's
bill of $478,000 to $830,000--a 73.5% increase. Cost increases for the indivi-
dual regional networks would increase from a low of 44% to users of BCR to a
high of 106% for CAPCON. In between these would be SOLINET at 64%.
OCLC told Librag.2 Hotline that the differences in increases among networks is
= caused by two varibles: distance from Dublin, Ohio and the density of points
on telecommunication lines.
. Actions taken: OCLC, acting with library associations, the regionals, and the
Library of Congress, has lobbied Congress and the FCC intensively to protest
the unfairness of the currently proposed tariffs, to urge delay in increases,
and to get changes made in specific features of the tariffsthat would most hurt
OCLC and its users. It has also been working with AT&T to develop short term
improvements in and long term restructuring of telecommunications networking.
This last initiative involves the development of what OCLC President Rowland
Brown calls "an open network with the capability of linking easily with other
systems and databases, taking full advantage of technical improvements in
digital transmission"
OCLC told Libr Hotline that this means replacing the closed OCLC network  
(which mandates special access equipment and dedicated telecommunication lines
and bars OCLC terminals from accessing other databases) with a new OCLC facility
that wi.ll provi.de access to other systems in addition to the OCLC database and
related services (like interloan). This open network will free OCLC from the
limitations of the present configuration--" dedicated, polled termnnals" and
phone lines--and "will enable us to take advantage of telecmrmmication advances
more rapidly than we do now."
Among the short term tactics suggested by OCLC to users: delay   the instal-
l lation of new lines, postponement of modem changes while OCLC examines new
alternatives in modems, and consolidation of terminal hoolmvs to as few modems
as possible.
The report briefly summarized here is carried in full in the latest (March) OCLC
Newsletter. _L_§_'s May l issue will include additional explana·tc-;.··r,¤ material pro-
vided by OCIE in response to editorial queries. (Librar__¤,[_llotl_iZ_rie_, l13{April 2,

 Magnetic Field Damage t0 Tapes and Software
In the absence of any controlled testing yet, it appears at least likely that
the magnetic fields generated by most, i.f not all, theft detection systems are
capable of damaging apdio and videotapes, sound tracks on 8mm films, and micro-
‘ computer sofmare; the damage can occur if the material is within four feet of
the source of magnetism; and there have been recent reports of damage.
The last time Librag Techn0l0_gyRep0rts looked at the potential hazard, all
vendors of the t detection systems except one admitted the possibility of
damage. At that time, however, videotape and micro software were rare birds
and no alarm was sounded. ,
There has been experimentation with aluminum foil wrapping, but the process
was judged too cumbersome for volmme traffic. Probably what is needed. is a
line of new metal containers tested and proven as barriers to magnetic fields
and to microwaves too, since the possibility of damage from this growing source
has also been raised. (library Hptline, l3 (April l6, l98i+), 4)
THE UK LIBRARY SYSTEM
The following is another in a series of descriptive articles concernin.g various
aspects of the UK library System.
The Business Library (2l6, King library South) A
The Business and Economics Library began operation in the Conrmerce   in
l97i+. As both the library and the College of Business and Economics grew, space
, problems necessitated the move of the Business Library to its present.; location
' in room 2l6 0f the King Library South in 1979.
The Business Library, as it now exists, is a reference and     heavily »
used by students. The collection is made up of reference materials and current
issues of journals in accounting, economics, finance, management, and marketing.
The back issues of most journals are kept in the King Library Periodical Erea
and the circulating business and economics book collections     in King
Library stacks.
