Cataloging College Libraries Cost Effectiveness Databases Information Retrieval Library Automation Library Expenditures Library Networks Library Services Library Technical Processes Online Systems Program Descriptions Program Evaluation Public Libraries Tables (Data) The operation of the Ohio College Library Center (OCLC) on-line bibliographic system in Texas and New Mexico Libraries was evaluated. The economic aspects of automated cataloging and card production were compared with previous methods; the effectiveness of the system as a tool for pre-order searching was evaluated; and the impact of the system's use on interlibrary loan was determined. Both academic and public libraries participated in the extensive evaluation. Appendixes contain a statement of research methodology, profile and terminal data, reports of site visits, and a glossary.
