    Abstract
    A transaction log analysis of searches for serials looks at how users go about their searching (by title, subject, or keyword) and what problems they encounter, and then examines the results of those searches. Explores ways in which serials records could be improved to enhance retrieval

    Abstract
    For the purposes of library and information science research, transaction lof analysis can be narrowly defined as the study of electronically recorded interactions between online information retrieval systems and the persons who search for the information found in those systems. Researchers most often use transaction log data with the intention of improving an information retrieval system, human utilization of the system, and human (and perhaps also system) understanding of how the system is used by information seekers. Transaction log analysis can provide system designers and managers with valuable information about how the system is being employed by actual users. It also can be used to study prototype systems or potential system improvements

    Abstract
    Reports results of the work of the Transaction Logs Task Force, composed of public and technical services librarians charged with reviewing OPAC to identify library wide problems and issues. This OPAC transaction log analysis study compared data derived from 2 sets of logs within a 6 month period. Analysis of the first set of data revealed that users experienced difficulty with basic searching techniques. The OPAC introductory screens were simplified and clarified to help users improve search success rates. The second set of data, analyzed after screen changes had been made, showed statistically significant differences in search results. Concludes that regular monitoring of OPACs through transaction log analysis can lead to improved retrieval when changes are made in response to an analysis of user search patterns

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study, conducted at the Ralph Brown Draughton Library, Auburn University, Alabama, to determine whether users employ the cross references provided by the series title authority file in their searches of the library's OPAC. Presents and discusses the results of a transaction log analysis focusing attention on the usefulness of cross references from series title authority records, since only searches that required such cross reference appeared in the transaction log report. Results indicate that users do use the cross references gathered by series title authority records

    Abstract
    The Venice University Institute of Architecture has developed Easyweb, a software package to integrate its heterogeneous non-compatible bibliographic and multimedia databases, standardise access and create internal links, by transferring all existing OPAC applications to the Web. Features include importation of UNIMARC data, multiple window searching, multibase searching and special applications, e.g. circulation management. Easyweb is notable user friendly and has become the point of reference for OPACs in Italy

    Abstract
    This article reports on a transaction log study of the BIS online catalog at North Caroline State University. Transaction logs were used to gather data on failure rates, usage patterns, and causes of problems. The result show that 54 percent of the searches analyzed failed. Subject searching was the most often used but least successful search. Problems experienced by patrons searching BIS were often due to a misunderstanding of how to operate the system, typographical errors, and the use of uncontrolled vocabulary. As in earlier studies, transaction logs analysis proved to be a fruitful and practical methodology for studying users' searching behaviour in an online catalog.

    Abstract
    To access a remote catalogue the searcher can use the Z39.50 standard as interface, which requires appropriate software; or for databases accessible on the WWW use a common gateway interface. The multibase access advantage of Z39.50 can also be obtained through a Web navigator by inserting a Web server/Z39.50 client software connector: this can be located either on the search site, in an intermediary position or on the database site, so determining the range of databases which can be searched. Z39.50 also offers interesting possibilities for joint and local cataloguing: multibase searching can equally be realised on intranets

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study to investigate judgements made by searchers of online catalogues by using transaction log analysis to associate online catalogue searchmethods with decisions so as to retrieve location information. The study used the Mainframe Interface to Libraries Online (MILO), an interface to the Illinois Library Computer Systems Office (ILCSO) online union catalogue for the 45 academic libraries belonging to ILCSO. MILO provides access to a bibliographic database and directly links to another database with circulation and location records. As the latter database only provides location and circulation status, searchers' decisions to make links to such data are seen as an indication that the records being linked represent potentially useful material. Via a transaction log analysis, the linked location records were associated wiht the access points used to retrieve them in order to analyze the value and problems of searchers' uses of specific access points. Transaction logs were analyzed for a 38-day sample of the 1994 logs. Counting of records retrieved through the use of multiple access points (making the total greater than 100%), subject fields were used to access over 30%, author fields to access over 19%, and title fields to access over 51% of all records linked to location information. Other fields were used to retrieve very small percentages of linked records

    Abstract
    Describes an attempt, by Illinois University at Chicago (IUC) Library to respond to user needs as they are revealed in transaction logs of OPAC use. Illustrates success in improving access to catalogue records through a reengineering process. Outlines the IUC Library Reengineering Project, the administrative structure to study transaction logs, and the resultant managerial decisions. Notes the changes made to sreen display and to the OPAC. Focusing on customer satisfaction, IUC catalogue librarians joined forces with colleagues to identify Usrs' unmet needs and preferences through transaction log analysis. In order to minimize mismatches between users' expectations and services actually provided, IUC catalogue librarians studied logs and adjusted the OPAC. Descrinbes the specific efforts to increase access to the library's collections and the steps taken to enhance and customize bibliographic and authority records. Concludes that transition log analysis has enabled IUC to alter the form and content of its OPAC to fit the changing needs of diverse and widely disoersed users

    Abstract
    Reviews studies of users of OPACs focusing on the research methodology of librarians. Surveys and questionnaires, interviews, observation, controlled experiment and transaction log analysis were used with varying degrees of expertise and success in academic public libraries with a variety of user populations. Poor methodology due to lack of training and funding sharply limit their usefulness in most cases

    Abstract
    Stanford University's Socrates II and University of California at Berkeley's Pathfinder are 2 USA World Wide Web based online publication access catalogues under development. They differ in their design language (how an interface functionally and visually communicates to the users). Evaluates each system's interface design and their ability to communicate functionality to users: analyzes design in terms of: colour, buttons, metaphors, layout, and basic and advanced search modes. Concludes that the design languages of both systems have the right directive and have the potential to evolve
