- Abstract
- Reports a comparative study of OPAC use designed to investigate whether there are fewer zero or no direct hits due to users' misconceptions today than 10 years ago. Data from PEGASUS, Columbia University Law Library's INNOPAC based OPAC on failed searches was compared with that from an earlier study (see Cataloging and classification quarterly 4(1984) no.3, S.1-17) of LUIS, Northwestern University's NOTIS based OPAC. No direct hits resulting from a misconception of the system were found to constitute only half of the no direct hits compared with the corresponding category of the earlier study
