- Abstract
- Describes a study conducted to compare the use of a new OPAC with that of the card catalogue looking primarily at the area of subject access. Library science students at a private university were asked to respond to questions concerning: the number of subject searches and searches for specific items that they carried out on the OPAC and on the card catalogue; the success rate of the catalogue searches; how the search was carried out (classification number or keywords); librarian assistance required; and knowledge of the Nippon Decimal Classification. Results revealed that while there was an increase in the number of users as a result of the introduction of OPAC facilities, there were certain aspects which required attention such as the area of subject searches
