  • The Online Catalog: Exceeding Our Grasp. Lipow, Anne Grodzins Access to Information Library Instruction Library Personnel Online Catalogs Online Searching Reference Services Skill Development User Satisfaction (Information) Discusses two problems related to the use of online catalogs: (1) staff training has not kept pace with new catalogs, resulting in a lack of search expertise in staff and patrons; and (2) users expect instant access to materials found in the catalog. It is argued that these problems must be addressed to adequately serve library patrons. (CLB)
