The Online Catalog Book

This invaluable guide for librarians, library automation specialists, and students discusses current issues in catalog design and offers existing catalogs as sources of ideas for new and revised catalogs. Divided into two parts, Part I examines issues such as library-defined catalogs, design principles, invisible users, and expanding the online catalog. Part II examines examples of online catalogs in specific library settings, such as Dynix at the U. of Dayton, the Dartmouth College Library Online System, Catalog Plus at Middletown High School, and InfoTrax at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This section explores the advantages and disadvantages of each system to illustrate the potential of online catalog use. Paper edition (unseen), $35.00.
