    Abstract
    In a 1990 study of 5 different online public access catalogue (OPAC) systems at 5 Ontario university libraries, 2916 undergraduates, graduates and faculty were interviewed to determine their satisfaction with the computerised catalogue. Presents the results for the entire sample as well as the findings for each OPAC/site. Sets out 6 major findings and makes several recommendations for future research involving OPACs

    Abstract
    In a study at the University of Toronto libraries, observers recorded protocols for 100 OPAC search sessions. This article reports on the analysis of these protocols, and examines zero-hit subject searches in particular to explore the the effectiveness of various conversions of users' queries to improve recall. Although the number of zero-hit subject searches analyzes was small, this exploratory study yielded some findings that merit consideration in efforts to improve subject access in OPACs.
