| contents | Redesigning the OPAC: Moving outside the ILMS Sokvitne, Lloyd O. Government Libraries Foreign Countries Library Administration Library Automation Library Development Library Materials Library Services Information Management Information Processing Computer System Design Database Management Systems Usability Gateway Systems Program Descriptions Program Development The need to develop new OPACs that meet the needs of users better is becoming well acknowledged. How libraries can transform their OPACs to modern web friendly formats is not yet clear. This paper describes the State Library of Tasmania's experience in developing a new OPAC by exporting bibliographic data to a software package outside the ILMS. Issues involved with the provision of a user-oriented, browsable, or facet-driven interface are described, the two most important ones for libraries being how to change cataloguing processes so as to deliver the required data and search functionality, and how to share evaluative and usage data about our resources. (Contains 19 notes and 4 figures.) |
