    Abstract
    The authors conducted a six-week queueing study of public catalogs in the Iowa State University library system. Data gathered are analyzed primarily to determine if routinely gathered library statistics can validly be used to predict catalog usage, to discover the ratio between the usage of the card catalog and the serials catalog, and to pinpoint the time of peak card catalog usage in order to measure more closely the rate of use. This measurement, then, provides one factor in a simulation model that can be constructed to predict accurately the number of devices needed for an alternative catalog format

    Abstract
    The degree of variability in the percentage of subject searching in an online public access catalog (OPAC) among branch libraries of one university was studied. A full semester's worth of transactions was analyzed, not sampled. The time units used were hour of the day, day of the week, and week of the semester. The findings show that subject searching varies from a low of 22% to a high of 74% over the hours of a day. Variability for the days of the week ranged from 17% to 64%, and for the weeks of the semester variability ranged from 12% to 70%. Valuable management information on the utilization of the OPAC within each brach library and among all the branch libraries is provided through numerous charts and graphs.

    Abstract
    The authors have studied the transaction counts from two and one-half years activity at the public use terminals of the Ohio State University Libraries' prototype online card catalog to determine what search options academic library patrons use the most often and whether this pattern varies from that reported in major catalog use studies. The preliminary findings indicate significant differences in search strategy that may result from a unique user group that prefers to search the online catalog, more useful searches in the online system, or special search patterns imposed by the computer hardware itself. Both the different searches used by patrons and why they choose them should be important factors in the design of future online catalogs
