The Library Program is designed to provide Library Data, a vital source of information within the boundaries of Charted Space]], a vast area. [1]
- This is a program, a kind of computer software.
- It is designed to be used with a Ship’s Computer, although it could be used with other kinds of computers as well.
Description (Specifications)
Routine programs are used to operate systems other than weaponry, and without regard to violent interaction.
- Library Data is an encyclopedic compendium of information concerning the local stellar region. Crew and passengers often refer to this program before disembarking on a world.
- Wise starship captains understand that the library program is not all inclusive, and may be incorrect in some facts. [2]

History & Background (Dossier)
Software within Charted Space is intentionally built to work under a number of different operating systems, different technology levels of computers, and to be extensively toughened for hard use under vacuum if necessary. [4]
The Software List: The computer software list, available at nearly any software vendor or port, indicates the various programs that are available. It shows space required by a specific program in CPU or storage, its price in MCr, and its title. Also shown is a brief overview of its effects. [5]
Software Authorship: Various requirements exist for individual characters producing existng or new programs. Such a course can save money, but may have some pitfalls. Program generation is explained elsewhere. [6]
