    Abstract
    Reports an investigation into the feasibility of usinf tutorials to train students to use on-line public access catalogues (OPACs). The library developed instructional software which conveys a conceptual model of an on-line catalogue and how it works. Reports the results of an experiment conducted to compare the effectiveness of the computer tutorial and the standard introductory classroom lecture on using the OPAC at the University of Toronto

    Abstract
    Presents a brief report on a study, carried out by the Centre for Interactive Systems Research, City University, to investigate the techniques used for evaluating OPACs: to explore and assess different data gathering methods in studying information seeking behaviour at the on-line catalogue; and to examine how a transaction logging facility could be enhanced to serve as a more effective diagnostic tool.

    Abstract
    Describes the availability, use and value of Z39.50, an international standard which allows a librarian accessing a database on one computer platform to search an OPAC hosted on another computer with a totally different database structure. Experiences of those working with the standard are given, and its use by the European Union IRIS project to link 6 major Irish research libraries is examined. Despite some problems encountered with different forms of author cataloguing and possible competition from the WWW, the standard is seen as possessing considerable strengths, for example in searching different catalogues and presenting the results in a standard format on screen, which justify the continuing interest of librarians

    Abstract
    Reports on the design of a GUI for the Okapi 'best match' retrieval system developed at the Centre for Interactive Systems Research, City University, UK, for online library catalogues. The X-Windows interface includes an interactive query expansion (IQE) facilty which involves the user in the selection of query terms to reformulate a search. Presents the design rationale, based on a game board metaphor, and describes the features of each of the stages of the search interaction. Reports on the early operational field trial and discusses relevant evaluation issues and objectives

    Abstract
    Rules regarding cataloguing, subject headings, the way information in bibliographic records is organised and the catalogue's interface, or the way the screen is set up, are barriers to the use of online catalogues by children Describes the background to and implementation of a project to create a child orientation catalogue with a graphical user interface, or one that relies on pictures instead of text, within Denver Public Library in Colorado. Now called the Kid's catalog and commercially available from the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries Co., the catalogue's software acts as a front end to a library's regular catalogue

    Abstract
    One of the most common errors in cataloguing library materials involves miscoding of the nonfiling indicator of title fields. Notes the extent of the problem and its negative effect on searching in the library's online catalogue and surveys how librarians have approached solutions to the problems. Describes how the major library automation system address this problem

    Reports on a dramatic shift from subject to periodical title searching at Colorado University Libraries. States possible reasons for the change, examines problems encountered by users with searching the periodical title index and suggests how this change in online catalogue searching may affect future catalogue design and bibliographic instruction

    Abstract
    A Serials Task Force at the University of California, USA, is currently working on merging the MELVYL catalogue and periodicals database. Details its design principles and discusses the major design issues of: name authority control, subject authority files, subsets, long searches, consolidation, sorting, and creation of possible new indexes for keywords, notes, titles, conferences, call numbers, combine author/titles, music, geospatial searching, and form limits

    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
    Powerful online catalogues, equal to the most sophisticated online services, are in the hands of students in academic libraries, many of whom lach sophistication equal to the system. The problem is not one of simple computer literacy, but combination of the students' lach of a data cogency; incompatability between library classification techniwues; and the student's lack of information technology skills. The super catalogues will demand that instructors and librarians must work together to train students in the operation of theses catalogues

    Abstract
    The Bradford OPAC is an experimental prototype OPAC, with a graphical user interface, based on the manifestation concept. It was designed to study some of the problems in catalogues where there are many versions of the same work or complex multipart works. In place of the main entry based approach of one complete record for each item, the OPAC groups together into sets items that are manifestations of the same work. Users are presented with shorter lists of different intellectual works. Items in a set can be sorted, searched and displayed according to user supplied criteria

    Abstract
    Myriad new information resources are available to contemporary library users. While print remains the foundation of most collections, libraries are also beginning to provide access to an array of bibliographic, numeric, and full-text databases. As more and more information is produced in electronic form and presented at computer workstations, the library catalog is being given an expanded role. The expanded catalog will play a crucial part in organizing information in electronic libraries, and in providing navigational assistance to library users. Like the traditional card catalog, the expanded catalog will not only lead to specific items or groups of sources, but also will provide connections to related materials. These connections will uses standard data elements to link the results of a search in one database with related material in another. For example, links will show local library holdings of sources in citation databases. Cornell University's Mann Library serves the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Human Ecology, and the Division of Biological Sciences. As part of electronic library development, Mann staff have been analyzing issues involved in making it possible for Agricola and BIOSIS users to see, automatically, which of their retrieved citations are from sources available in the Cornell libraries. Samples of citations from Agricola and BIOSIS were drawn, and data elements present in these records were compared with bibliographic records of the library's holdings. In some cases, links would be provided by ISSNs. The study shows, however, that the presence of standard identifiers such as ISSN, USBN, or CODEN cannot be assumed, and other linking algorithms must be developed. This article presents study results, provides an overview of several linking systems, and identifies some of the difficulties caused by lack of standardization between different bibliographic databases. It is clear that the concept of an expanded catalog will require not only links between information resources but agreements among information professionals on standard data elements.
