The BLCMP Database is now available to member libraries over JANET, and the first twelve customers started to use the new Internet service in late 1995.
The service offers library customers an alternative to the traditional method of access which is over a dedicated BT line, and is part of BLCMP's strategy towards open systems.
Customers are still able to enjoy all the other benefits of the BLCMP Database including the EDI Clearing House service, which allows them to communicate electronically with book suppliers using BLCMP to facilitate the administration.
