    Abstract
    The degree of variability in the percentage of subject searching in an online public access catalog (OPAC) among branch libraries of one university was studied. A full semester's worth of transactions was analyzed, not sampled. The time units used were hour of the day, day of the week, and week of the semester. The findings show that subject searching varies from a low of 22% to a high of 74% over the hours of a day. Variability for the days of the week ranged from 17% to 64%, and for the weeks of the semester variability ranged from 12% to 70%. Valuable management information on the utilization of the OPAC within each brach library and among all the branch libraries is provided through numerous charts and graphs.

    Abstract
    As librarians evaluate the capabilities of online catalogs they will need to consider what information users expect to find in the catalog and what characteristics of the catalog will help users in their search for this information. The findings of studies concerning how library users actually use card catalogs and online catalogs, and their successes and failures in that use, can be used to determine the capabilities that are needed in anonline catalog to satisfy the bibliographic requests of library users

    Abstract
    Three studies were made of the use of COM catalogues at the University of Toronto and the Mississauga Library System: unobtrusive observations, structured interviews, and a timed-search experiment in reel, fiche and card catalogues. The reel catalogue was found to be the overwhelming favourite, almost as popular in the public library as in the academic library, where 82% of the users reported it to be their preferred form of catalogue. However, for nearly all test questions and searcher types in the timed-search experiment, successful searches required less time in the card catalogue than in either form of the COM catalogues.

    Abstract
    Reports results of a week long sample observation of card catalogue consultation by library users. Subsequent questioning of users about the purposes for which they consulted the catalogue revealed that the classified catalogue is not used as all and the author and title catalogue are consulted to the maximum. It is also found that 80% of the consultations of card catalogue are to locate documents, 10% is to make comprehensive searches for references on a topic and rest for miscellaneous purposes

    Abstract
    The purpose of this study is to obtain information which would help planners of the online catalog design a catalog which would be relevant to the needs of university faculty. Data was obtained by means of a questionnaire mailed to the faculty, College of Humanities, University of Utah. It was found that (1) references in books or articles they read; (2) the Subject Catalog; and (3) printed indexes, bibliographies and research guides in that order were the three most utilized information sources. Browsing was an important fourth. The faculty would like more in-depth coverage of the local library collection rather than access to other library catalogs or online databases from the catalog terminal. Feedback and comments in response to an open-ended question varied.
