Abstract

The development of networked access to academic library catalogue records has been conspicuously slow compared with that of campus wide information systems in general. In cooperation with its systems suppliers BLCMO, the Pilkington Library, Loughborough, UK, is seeking to remedy this situation by developing an interface that allows users to access its OPAC via the W3. The benefits of such a facility are reflected in BLCMP's decision to incorporate a revised version in the forthcoming release of the commercial Talis system; but problems relating to the 'statelessness' of hypertext tranfer protocol (HTTP) and to the inadequacy of traditional catalogue records as access points for electronic information resources are still causes for consideration
