    Abstract
    A review of the future of academic libraries that draws initially on a generic model to describe the components of all library systems. Touches upon some economic changes and looks for evidence in statistical trends derived from United Kingdom reportage. From this extrapolates scenarios relating to the function of libraries as a collection of resources, as a physical place, its role in organising information and its service function. Library collections will continue to exist but described in different ways, whilst physical collections will mutate into multi-functional spaces. Knowledge management will become increasingly important and the overriding shift will be towards a service and support role. The librarian's role is also discussed and changes summarised.

    Abstract
    Three different interfaces for online public access catalogues were evaluated using transaction logging as a methodology. In two cases exercises were set and run against each interface so that results could be critically evaluated to indicate areas of weakness. In all cases a random transaction log was derived and this was used to diagnose system problems and identify patterns of behaviour. Results showed that searches were often difficult to categorise, users employing different approaches to the same end. Users also were prepared to undertake sustained searching until something was retrieved; however they then frequently stopped. Search input problems are also identified and possible areas for further research suggested

    Abstract
    This short guide describes the process for creating a CD-ROM based üublic access catalog. The authors admit that the material will be outdated by the time of publication, because product specifics change so rapidly. The report is useful, but not completely thorough. Disadvantages to using CD-ROM for public access catalog are listed, but existing methods to overcome these hindrances are not mentioned. The paper also touches on the possibility that CD-ROM-based catalogs may be more than simply an extra service, that they may become full-service catalogs in themselves
