- Abstract
- As librarians increasingly try to use their online catalogues to do what used to be done with their card shelflists, they are realizing that some catalogue sedigners and vendors have not paid enough attention to online shelf order classification access. Compares the call number searching abilities of 8 prominent, mature library systems: VTLS, Inlex, Innovative Interfaces, Inc., Data Research Associates (DRA), Geac Advance, Dynix, SIRSI, and NOTIS. Using 5 criteria that are important to cataloguers, each system was tested and rated for its suitability as an online shelflist. *** Special note from the authors: "[We've] become aware of a new version of SIRSI's Unicorn library system-- version 7.0 that changes our rating of SIRSI in a major way. We had rated SIRSI Unicorn a "C" in the paper, but now we would rate version 7.0 an "A". This is indeed a major change. Fortunately, we identified version numbers for each system in the article: we had tested version 6.1 of SIRSI. Thus, version 7.0 of SIRSI Unicorn, available in early 1995, has improved to the point that it meets every criteria used in the article for suitability as an online shelflist. The authors have evaluated version 7.0 with an "A" rating." ***
