Abstract

This article reprots the findings of an experiment employing a simulated scholarly use of an OPAC to determine the frequency of one-screen displays when a scholar searches for a known-item with so-called 'keywords' in an implied boolean system. The experiment revealed that a 'keyword' search formula comprising surname plus first and last title words produced a single screen 92.8% of the time, thereby reducing the failure of traditional title searching to produce single screens by nearly one half; such a formula also enables a scholar to search successfully with abbreviated, unsearchable bibliographic citations. Additional research should be carried out, for if it is further demonstrated that replacing traditional bibliographic catalog entries with transcribed title pages provides an improved known-item OPAC, users would benefit and libraries would enjoy huge savings

Abstract

Suggests a redesign of known-item, personal-name OPACs; corporate authorship and subject sections of OPACs are not included. Corporate authorship is disregarded because corporate author searches of OPACs comprise less than 2% of the total. Subject searching is not included because no new and effective topical catalogue is available. The redesign is user orientated. Objectives to achieve the goals of redesigned catalogs are delineated. Displays of the miniature catalogues (minicats) produces by OPACs are limited to a single screen and computerized techniques for achieving this one-screen objective are described. Findings of research simulating faculty and general use of a university OPAC is used in the new design. Novel error correction techniques are also described. Finally, benefits to users and libraries are presented in terms of effectiveness, productivity and savings in time and money
