"the current library catalog is poorly designed"
UNIVERSITY RELEASES BIBLIOGRAPHIC SERVICES TASK FORCE REPORT
The University of California has released the final report of its Bibliographic Services Task Force. "Rethinking How We Provide Bibliographic Services for the University of California" will provide valuable insights to others thinking about making their library collections more visible and more easily accessible to their users.
The report begins with the premise that "the current library catalog is poorly designed for the tasks of finding, discovering, and selecting the growing set of resources available in libraries." It lists recommendations for enhancing search and retrieval, “rearchitecting” the OPAC, and adopting new cataloging practices.
