    Abstract
    The University of Toronto hopes to encourage development of a campus-wide information system consisting of many walk-up-and-use components. The first component to be developed was an instructional program for users of the library's online catalog. The interface had to be attractive, usable by novices, and flexible enough to carry the content. Much effort was expended in ensuring that it met these criteria. User testing played an important role in the design of the interface. The design and testing of the system's entry point, navigation aids, and templates for spatial arrangements of information on the screen are discussed

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study to evaluate the OPACs in 12 Canadian academic libraries, using a checklist of functional capabilities and interface features of an ideal OPAC system, to serve as an evaluation standard or benchmark for evaluating the strenghts and weaknesses of the OPACs. Findings suggest that, among the 10 areas evaluated, screen displays is the best developed area, and subject search aids is the weakest. Identifies possible directions for the future development of OPACs and suggests areas for future OPAC research
