Automated Library Search System (ALSS) user's manual
This introduces readers to the Automated Library Search System (ALSS). It describes its uses, explains how it functions, and provides detailed information on how to set up and operate the system. The ALSS is a computer-based system for entering, storing, and retrieving information on books, articles, reports, and other documents on the subject of energy vulnerability. Records contained in the system include bibliographic information, status information related to acquisition of the documents, and information which will assist the System Manager in determining suitability for release of individual bibliographic records to various system users. Operational capabilities include: a user-friendly interface with the system for data entry and retrieval; retrieval of selected records based on user specification of any one of the following: document index number, author, title, subject matter identifier words/phrases and text word-match; generation of standard hard copy reports or special reports in response to ad hoc inquiry; and positive control by the ALSS System Manager of access to the system by individual users. The system, which is installed on the Energy Information Administration (EIA) computer located in the Forrestal Building, may be accessed by remote terminals including those located in the Office of Energy Operations.
