Title

research on the use of OPAC and its implications for libraries in Malaysia

Source

Asian libraries. 3(1993) no.1, S.20-27

Year

Abstract

The number of libraries and information centers in Malaysia that have adopted library automation or plan to do so has increased. Investigates the impact of the online public access catalogue (OPAC) on library management and user needs. Library managers face the challenge of familiarizing both library staff and users with the new system. This challenge is especially critical as Malaysian libraries begin to move away from outdated card catalogue systems and their routine procedures
