Abstract

Reports and combines the results of 2 assessments of full bibliographic displays in the online catalogue of academic libraries. The first assessment evaluated displays in 12 OPACs while the second evaluated displays in 10 WWW based catalogues. Displays were evaluated against a checklist of desirable features derived from published display guidelines. Results showed that, on average, displays in OPACs scored 58% and displays in Web catalogues scored 60%. Discusses some of the weaknesses identified by the assessments, focusing on those found in the majority of the displays evaluated
