ATTITUDES TO AN ONLINE PUBLIC ACCESS CATALOGUE IN AN ACADEMIC LIBRARY

Describes an investigation of attitudes to the LION (Library Integrated Online Network) online public access catalogue at LiverpooI Polytechnic Library (now Liverpool John Moores University) using observation and a questionnaire survey of 55 library users. Suggests that the reaction to the automation of the library catalogue was positive and it appears to have improved service to users, but more user education and guidance would result in a further improvement.
