The online public access catalogue in DOBIS/LIBIS

Abstract

The DOBIS/LIBIS OPAC has been in active use at a number of installations for several years. Before describing the OPAC, this paper briefly describes the development and design of DOBIS/LIBIS as a whole. After sketches of several libraries using the OPAC, its menu‐guided and full‐screen search capabilities are described. Other OPAC facilities, such as the self‐service display of a borrower record, the sending of electronic mail to the library staff, and the multilingual capability of the system, are also covered.
