Abstract:

Dennis Nicholson is the head of Library Systems at the University of Strathclyde, where he has been responsible for the installation of two generations of library systems. In the library community at large he is best known as the driving force behind the BUBL Information Service and is also involved with a number of Scottish collaborative initiatives. BUBL began life as the Bulletin Board for Libraries under Project Jupiter at the University of Glasgow. Funding for the project ran out in 1991 and Nicholson, with a group of colleagues, took on the service on a volunteer-effort basis. The database continued to be mounted and supported at Glasgow but the development and editorial work moved to Strathclyde. After mainframe services were withdrawn at Glasgow, the service was moved to UKOLN at Bath.
