- Abstract
- The various ways of improving the online catalog for subject searching are reviewed. The paper then discusses the expert system approach to developing a subject search front-end. It is suggested that an effective expert front-end can be developed by focusing on search strategies. A design for a rule-based expert system front-end is described. Possible search strategies and selection rules are illustrated. The inference structure of the system is based on Clancey's model of heuristic classification

- Abstract
- The Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) is an information retrieval system characterized by short bibliographic records, mainly of books, journals, and audiovisual materials available in a particular library. This, coupled with a Boolean search interface and a heterogeneous user population with diverse needs, presents special problems for subject searching by end users. To perform effective subject searching in the OPAC system requires a wide range of knowledge and skills. Various approaches to improving the OPAC design for subject searching have been proposed and are reviewed in this entry. The trend toward Web-based OPAC interfaces and the developments in Internet and digital library technologies present fresh opportunities for enhancing the effectiveness of the OPAC system for subject searching.
