Abstract

Presents a chart comparing the subject access features available on 4 different catalogues (card catalogues, GEAC, MELVYL and NOTIS) and develops a method for 'walking through' subject searches in different catalogues using a 'naive subject searcher' model in which searching behaviour is determined by 3 basic characteristics: a lack of understanding of how information is stored, indexed, and retrieved in library catalogues; a preference for the simplest available mode of interaction with the catalogue and a lack of any searching strategy or tactics beyond simple 'subject searching'. A complete 'naive Subject search' of the GEAC 8000-based GLIS on-line catalogue is presented, and sample NOTIS and MELVYL screens are discussed
