This report describes the experience of setting up a computer-based information system in postgraduate centres in the West of Scotland. It includes a viewdata service, library facilities, computer-assisted learning, word processing, and statistics. An electronic mail system provides rapid communication between users. The costing and some of the problems in setting up such systems are discussed.Keywords
