Abstract

An OPAC user study was carried out at Stockholm University Library, 1987, involving 500 randomly chosen library users, a questionnaire and 136 responses. The object was to study patron use and general attitudes to the OPAC and to determine whether any differences in attitudes and searching behaviour could be found between different user categories. The advantages and disadvantages of the OPAC are noted
