SLIM helps in the publication of an information bulletin containing particulars of the latest additions of books or articles. The list in the bulletin is arranged in the order of subjects. The particulars of the items can include abstracts besides the standard bibliographic data and library call numbers. The Keyword index or the author name index, or both these indices can get appended to this report.
 
The Current Awareness Service report can be prepared either in the Rich Text Format or the HTML Format. The report when created in the HTML format gets automatically linked to the Web Aware OPAC module of SLIM. Fonts, sizes, colours, elements of bibliography and their sequence are defined by users and are placed in a persistent form. With the RTF format output, it is possible to further enhance the publication using word processors, if required.
 
Such a CAS bulletin can be published in print format, or as an HTML page on the web site of the library, or can be sent as email messages to all, or any selected members receiving this service.
