In the 70s and 80 many companies designed hardware and software specifically for libraries. It wasn't until the 80s when OPAC became very popular. It was adopted by many different universities, such as the University of Adelaide. There were many management systems that built on the foundations of OPAC such as URICA, VTLA, GEAC, DOBIS/LIBIS. Which lead to the suppliers outright building their own complete integrated systems which lead to features sch as interlibrary lending which in my opinion is a big advancement because you could find books for other libraries without having to directly go to each place.
