Dear Madam
I have a few observations,
I feel you have split one point into several. For ex. point 1,2 & 3 can be combined as -
1. OCLC is the biggest network system in the world. It stands for Online Computer Library Centre. Earlier it was known as Ohio College Library Centre.
Why unnecessarily split into 3 different points? Coherently (together) they appear meaningful, disjointed they appear insignificant facts
Likewise 5,6,7 & 8.
Same is the case with DELNET, NICNET, SIRNET etc.
I make this observation not to demean your efforts but to help add value to the same.
Truly
Siddu
