Abstract

Study was undertaken by Information Systems Consultants, Inc., Washington DC, to determine the current state of online patron access catalogues, with emphasis on the degree to which access has been extended beyond that available in card, microform, and early patron access online catalogues. The methodology used was similar to that used in an earlier report. All of the library automation vendors of both multi user systems and micro based systems were sent a copy of the latest version of the catalogue portion of the model RFP (request for proposal) for an integrated online library system which was developed for the study described in the last reference. The vendors were asked to respond as if it had been sent by a potential library customer. A matrix with the raw data is presented for both multi user systems and micro based systems along with the RFP. A brief description of each vendor is followed by a tabulation of the RFP responses and concluding comments by the author
