Step 1: Identify the earlier network.
CALIBNET is one of the earlier library networks among the given options. \[ B = \text{CALIBNET} \]

Step 2: Place INFLIBNET next.
INFLIBNET was established for academic library networking and information sharing. \[ E = \text{INFLIBNET} \]

Step 3: Place PUNENET after INFLIBNET.
