DISCUSSION
A display-console system on which to conduct experi- ments with a computer-based augmented library catalog has been described here. The principal features of the console system are flexibility, and potentially, low cost of ownership. The display-console system is pres- ently being constructed at the Electronic Systems Lab- oratory of M.I.T. and is scheduled to become oper- ational the summer of 1968.
It is expected that the Intrex experiments will provide new insights into the functional characteristics of a computer display console ideally suited for a computer- based augmented library catalog. As new functional characteristics are identified they will be incorporated into the console system described here. Thus, we view the system described here as the first of a series of experimental systems to be implemented.
