Design Principles for a Comprehensive Library System (p.78-89)
TAMER ULUAKAR, ANTON R. PIERCE, AND VINOD CHACHRA

This paper describes a project that takes a step-by-step or incremental approach to the development of an online comprehensive system running on a dedicated computer. The described design paid particular attention to present and predicted capabilities in computing as well as to trends in library automation. The resultant system is now in its second of three releases, having tied together circulation control, catalog access, and serial holdings.

OCLC Search Key Usage Patterns in a Large Research Library (p.90-99)
KUNJ B. RASTOGI AND ICHIKO T. MORITA

Many libraries use the OCLC Online Union Catalog and Shared Cataloging Subsystem to perform various library functions, such as acquisitions and cataloging of library materials. As an initial part of the operations, users must search and retrieve a bibliographic record for the desired item from the large OCLC database. Various types of derived search keys are available for retrieval. This study of actual search keys entered by users of the OCLC online system was conducted to determine the types of search keys users prefer for performing various library operations and to find out whether the preferred search keys are effective.
