Abstract

In the last 20 years, 4 technologies have dramatically changed the way users gain access to bibliographic information: on-line searching of data bases stored on computers in distant places; OPACs; CD-ROMs; and locally mounted tapes. Reports the results of a survey of 800 academic libraries to establish if they all offer these services and how their availability varies by ype of academic institution. Results revealed that most libraries do not charge for the use of computerised catalogues and data bases and there are indications that more academic libraries will be offering these tapes in the future
