Micro-ISIS or TEXTAR?

BAKONYI Géza - KOKAS Károly

In Hungary two library software-packages for microcomputers have been spread in recent years: the Micro-ISIS developed by Unesco and the TEXTAR developed in Hungary . The two packages were compiled for different purposes, so it is not right to contrast them. TEXTAR can serve as an integrated system for smaller libraries (with holdings up to 100,000 volumes). Micro-ISIS, on the other hand, is a general, textual, database management software of which excellent use can be made in libraries too. The user choosing either of them should remember their real function: they are not qualified for substituting for the integrated systems of large libraries, but are excellently apt in periods of scarce financial resources for preparing for computerisation, for the further development of computer-culture, for starting the input of data.
