    Abstract
    Describes the European Commission's OPAC Network in Europe (ONE) project which attempts to make it simpler to search a number of major European OPACs crossing all frontiers via online interface. Explains how this is done and the British Library's involvement in it, assessment of the project and plans for the future

    Abstract
    The British Library is currently progressing several projects involving Z39.50 and SR standards. The Network OPAC trial service is being extended for a further year and the user base broadened. Future applications of Z39.50 currently being investigated include access from Z39.50 clients developed by other suppliers; a virtual database to cover all the library's diverse catalogues; and a national distributed bibliographic database

    Abstract
    Reviews the development of the British Library OPAC services leading up to the launch of OPAC 97, offering access to 9 mio bibliographic records and attempts to show the value of a user centred approach in the project management involved in developing such a service as recommended by Human Computer Interaction (HCI) studies. Reviews the evaluation studies of the Online Catalogue, the Network OPAC, a web prototype interface and of OPAC 97 and discusses the results in relation to the OPAC 97 project. Although the OPAC 97 interface made use of various HCI recommendations, user feedback sometimes contradicted these in specific instances, revealing the value of detailed user evaluation in developing services
