    Abstract
    Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic has been providing audio recordings of educational texts since 1948. In 1992, it initiated a project to develop an OPAC to allow institutional providers and individual borrowers to search its holdings of over 80.000 volumes. In 1993, a coordinated pilot project was begun to allow a limited test group of institutional sites and individuals the ability to use the catalogue ordering mechanism for document delivery. Describes the project concluding that, although the project was not considered a success, much insight was gained as a result of the efforts which will be of value in the development of an improved version of the OPAC

    Abstract
    Describes work of the BOPAC2 project, funded by the British Library Research and Inoovation Centre, from Sep 1996 to Jan 1997, to investigate the issues involved in managing large and complex retrievals involving Z39.50 searches, including searches of multiple databases. The system is a WWW front end that allows simultaneously access to a number of library OPACs via Z39.50. The system is designed to make access to large and complex retrieval simpler, similar records are clustered together and retrievals may be sorted in a number of ways and by different criteria. Describes the design, development and evaluation of the system with suggestions for future work

    Abstract
    Reports results of an evaluation study of 3 WWW based prototypes for bibliographic displays developed as part of an ongoing research project at the Faculty of Information Studies, Toronto University. The development of these prototypes builds upon results obtained in earlier phases of the project that addressed issues of both the content and form of bibliographic displays in OPACs. Anticipation of continued growth in the number of catalogues available through the WWW, combined with research evidence that existing Web based displays have not shown improvement over their text based counterparts, motivated the development of these prototypes for use on the Web. Reports findings from a focus group evaluation of the 3 prototypes and makes suggestions for future research

    Abstract
    Over the past year, innumerable discussions on the relationship between traditional library OPACs and the newly burgeoning World WideWeb have occured in many libraries and in virtually every library related discussion list. Rumors and speculation abound, some insisting that SGML will replace USMARC "soon," others maintaining that OPACs that haven't migrated to the Web will go the way of the dinosaurs.

    Abstract
    Briefly follows the debate concerning: the relationship between traditional library OPACs and the WWW; possible replacement of USMARC format with SGML; and the possible demise of OPACs that do not migrate to the WWW. Discusses the approach taken by the Text encoding Initative (TEI) in their use of a mandatory TEI header in their standard SGML application as the first since CIP to explore attaching bibliographic information to the item itself to assist cataloguing

    Abstract
    Reports an empirical study of online catalogues accessible over the Internet and discusses the problems revealed in subject searching them. Suggests 4 tools to improve subject searching: search trees, an online directory of collections strengths of Internet accessible library collections, aids to find this record or simular records, and common command language for every Internet accessible library catalogue or bibliographic database

    Abstract
    The aim of the Deakin Library, Geelong, Victoria, Australia, is to provide access to all its owned electronic resources via the catalogue by 1999. Discusses barriers to using the catalogue, the evolution of the current approach and how the resources are presented in the catalogue. The focus is primarily on resources licensed for use by all authorized Deakin University staff and students and available via the WWW

    Abstract
    A major initiative at the Sandia National Laboratories Technical Library, New Mexico, is the provision of desktop access to information for Sandia researchers. During 1995, the library created a home page on the WWW with information on how to link to its client server based OPAC. Through multiple access points, researchers can search the catalogue from their desks and a new initiative is the provision of access to Sandia generated documents by converting them to electronic form, placing them on Sandia's 'internal Web' and linking them to the OPAC bibliographic record. Addresses the processes developed in the library and the procedures for cataloguing these electronic reports, including identification of the bibliographic information and MARC tags to be used

    Abstract
    3 user interfaces to LIBIS, a library catalogue accessible via the Internet, were evaluated for use by people who are motor impaired, to identify how interface design influences the motor actions necessary to operate the system. Results confirm that minimizing the motor actions necessary for interaction with the interfaces is needed for this group and recommends improving consistency in design, optimizing instinctive awareness of how to use the system and providing informative feedback and instructive messages on how to progress. these recommendations will be validated through iterative adaptation and testing of the user interface, while designing a prototype library service

    The BIBLIOFIL library management system is widely used by public libraries throughout Norway. The supplier, Bibliotek-Systemer, recognizes the importance of making public library catalogues available on the Internet. After considering the alterbative of Z39.50/SR, it was decided to implement http, the WWW protocol to enable catalogue access. In the 1st month, 3 BIBLIOFIL libraries have already made their collections available and many more look set to follow

    Abstract
    Reviews the potential revolution in the creation and smooth delivery of information on an OPAC released by the MARC 856 field. This offers the catalogue users an active link to a WWW site. Predicts the use of such links for accessing texts or showing locations within the library. Outlines the problems of maintaining the field 856 links and some of the solutions that are being applied by information professionals

    Abstract
    Subject access functionality has yet to reach its full potential in our current library online public access catalog (OPAC) environment. Controlled vocabularies are used, but not fully available to the user. A summary of earlier research identifying user needs in an online catalog environment and suggested solutions will be presented. Examples of current technologies which incorporate controlled vocabularies such as thesauri and classifications to facilitate subject access in online environments will be introduced

    Abstract
    Presents a brief description of the operation of COPAC, the new OPAC providing a unified interface to the consolidated database and online catalogues of the UK's Consortium of University Research Libraries (CURL). COPAC is seen as the partial realization of the aims of earlier projects, such as the UK Libraries Database System (UKLDS). Provides a brief overview of the background to the CURL OPAC and the COPAC project, describing the main content of the COPAC database. Considers the effect of having multiple contributors to the database and the inevitable need for deduplication and record consolidation to cope with the inevitable record duplication. COPAC is accessible via a text interface and a WWW interface. Discusses each interface using example screens to illustrate the search process
