The Library Computer Access and Retrieval System, abbreviated LCARS, was a computer interface and subsystem used by the United Federation of Planets on Starfleet starships, space stations, and other installations. (Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Vengeance Factor", "Conundrum", "Second Chances", "Future Imperfect"; Star Trek: The Prospect Chronicles; Star Trek: Shabonee; Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions)
Starbase Expanse 3, a space station comprised of sections created by several different species over the years, had several sections were computers were incompatible with LCARS, which created difficulties in integration with other Federation systems. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One")
