- Abstract
- 2nd of two articles based on the results of a survey of on-line public access catalogues (OPACs) in public libraries carried out by Manchester Library School. 20 UK libraries provided data for the survey. Discusses types of OPAC configurations in use, suppliers of systems, help facilities, display of data, and subject searching on OPACs. Concludes that, in general, OPACs make accessing a catalogue easy and that this encourages catalogue use, resulting in increased document demand levels and in more satisfied customers.
