    Abstract
    Althogh the library literature contains numerous papers on the functional and performance evaluation of OPACs, as well as on the evaluation of many facets of reference service, it presents little assistance for the evaluation of OPACs as the central facet of reference service. In order to alleviate this lack, evaluates OPACs as if they were any other reference tool, judging them against Norman D. Stevens' classic 18 criteria for the evaluation of reference books. Includes a selective bibliography of works on both OPAC and reference book evaluation

    Abstract
    Proposes the development of SuperPAC, an enhanced online public access catalogue with features that allow users to better evaluate the wide range of information sources made accessible through new technologies. Discusses 2 types of OPAC enhancements that would encourage users to think critically about sources: the integrated availabiblity of electronic evaluation resources, and the use of improved and augmented MARC records
