2. Description of the Related Art In a library, books are managed based on information called a bibliography indicating book attributes such as a book name, an author name, a classification, and a subject, and a bibliography is used as a search key. A bibliographic information management system for retrieving information such as possessed books and lending status has been implemented. Bibliography is assigned to one book, and bibliography is determined and assigned to a book only by a specific person with qualifications such as a librarian. There is no technique for determining the bibliographic information. Therefore, a bibliographic information list indicating bibliographic information is purchased from a bibliographic company such as a wholesaler of books, and the purchased bibliographic information is registered in a computer used as a bibliographic information management system.

[0003]

However, in the conventional bibliographic information management system, bibliographic information recorded on an information recording medium such as a flexible disk is purchased from a bibliographic company every predetermined period such as one week and registered each time. Since the work is performed, there is a problem that the work load is heavy for the library staff.

[0006] Bibliographic information recorded on an information recording medium to be purchased contains bibliographic information of all books to which bibliographic information is given for a predetermined period among books handled by a bibliographic company. There is a problem that the cost required for the computer system to perform the operation increases.

[0005] Bibliographic information for one week is about 1,000 to 2,000 books, and even if the library computer system is updated every five years, about 300,000 to 400,000 books of bibliographic information are available. Will be registered in the computer system. However, in many libraries, the number of books held is about 100,000, which means that unnecessary bibliographies are burdened with work and costs. Furthermore, bibliographic information is purchased and purchased on a weekly basis, and bibliographic information is determined and assigned every day, so that the latest bibliographic information cannot be obtained.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and uses a management apparatus that accesses a bibliographic database that collectively manages bibliographic information and a library database that manages information on books held in each library. A bibliographic information management method that can reduce the burden of work and expenses at each library and always obtain the latest bibliographic information by connecting the equipment and terminal devices managed by each library via a communication network. An object of the present invention is to provide a bibliographic information management system to which the method is applied, a management device used in the system, and a recording medium on which a program for realizing the device is recorded.
