Towards the computerized animal house: the Newcastle University Animal House Management System.
A suite of computer programs (available from the Laboratory Animal Science Association) has been written to carry out much of the routine administration of a central animal house facility. Principal functions include stock control and accounting. The programs are fully portable and can be implemented on almost any microcomputer. They are protected against data-entry errors and can be used by staff who have little or no computer experience. In 10 months' use at the Comparative Biology Centre, the Newcastle University Animal House Management System has become an indispensable management tool. The system has also been successfully implemented at Bath University.
