Title

Abstract

The academic library user demands a variety of information, but moving between the online catalogue and other databases can be difficult, confusing and cumbersome. Information services at Sunderland University, UK, has employed Pac Plus for Windows, an Ameritech Library Services online public catalogue product, to provide an alternative to, but not replace, the existing front end of the public catalogue, and to facilitate the provision of access to full text examination papers, module guides and selected journal content papers. Looks at the scanning and set up implications, advantages, user reactions and future developments
