- The Effect of Closed Catalogs on Public Access. Dwyer, James R. Academic Libraries Cataloging Costs Higher Education Information Retrieval Information Seeking Library Catalogs Library Surveys Microfiche Problems Use Studies Microcatalog use studies at the University of Oregon have demonstrated that users encounter access difficulties when confronted with a multiple file microfiche catalog. This research verifies theories by Mooers, Zipf, and others that the public minimizes search efforts and implies that closed catalogs with supplements such as add-on catalogs will not be fully understood or utilized. A comparison of U. of O. survey results with those of other more positive microcatalog studies reveals that the problems created are not inherent to any given catalog format but are created by multiple lookups. Retrospective conversion studies and the costs of converting bibliographic records into machine readable form are considered. (Author/RAA)
