Abstract

The presence of different interfaces to use online catalogues has caused difficulties, particularly for remote users. To tackle this problem 13 university campuses in New South Wales linked their online catalogues together to form a network called LIBLINK (a subnet of the Australian Academic Research Network, AARNET). The key to the success of the network is the user searching software, PINS (Practical Interface to Network System), a set of fourth generation language software tools. Suggests that LIBLINK can be a simple solution for other libraries around the world

Abstract

Presents the selected findings of a research project based on the British Library Network Online Public Access Catalogue (NOPAC) carried out in the department of information and library management at the University of Northumbria in Newcastle, UK over the academic year 1994/95. Data was collected by means of interviews with NOPAC users especially on use made of the NOPAC and on attitudes towards the NOPAC's interface. Discusses the views of users as they relate to: display features; mode of interaction; help/user assistance; extra features available; and usability. Lists important points which emerged from the survey concerning the NOPAC service

Abstract: Reports on the state-of-the art of online catalogues and considers propects for future developments. Describes the background and origins of OPACs. Considers the limitations of second generation systems which are failing to meet the needs of users. Examines new approaches to their design which include: user-centre design, interface design, use of advanced retrieval techniques, and their use in the network environment. Considers future developments of OPACs taking into account developments in other electronic information sources

Abstract: The acronym OPAC should perhaps stand for Open, Public, Accessible and Cooperative. Looks at how the OPAC modules available in major European library systems live up to this definition. Discusses 3rd generation OPAC development areas; network access; document types and services included; document ordering and delivery; user interface; retrieval models; communication language; and record enhancements

Abstract

Reviews the development of the British Library OPAC services leading up to the launch of OPAC 97, offering access to 9 mio bibliographic records and attempts to show the value of a user centred approach in the project management involved in developing such a service as recommended by Human Computer Interaction (HCI) studies. Reviews the evaluation studies of the Online Catalogue, the Network OPAC, a web prototype interface and of OPAC 97 and discusses the results in relation to the OPAC 97 project. Although the OPAC 97 interface made use of various HCI recommendations, user feedback sometimes contradicted these in specific instances, revealing the value of detailed user evaluation in developing services
