Abstract

While much has been written about OPACs in college and university libraries, few OPAC studies from community colleges have appeared in the literature. Provides a background to the work of Nassau Community College, Garden City, New York (NCC) and its library. Describes the NCC OPAC and presents a study of its use covering user profiles; user success; and user strategies and patterns of use
