  • Library catalogue - the ultimate reference tool?
    Merčun, Tanja ; Žumer, Maja, 1953-
    The changing web and the new generation of users have forced libraries to rethink their position as information providers. New generations of library users prefer to look for information themselves ... and seek personal help only at times fo greatest need. Libraries therefore need to devote more attention to their most important reference tool - the library catalogue. In order to attract users with high expectations and demands, libraries have to make their catalogues more functional, intuitive and up to date. In January 2008 an expert study was carried out to investigate the state of six chosen library catalogues, focusing on funcionality and current web trends. The study showed that the traditional catalogue included only a few of the examined features, while more modern catalogues could be grouped into catalogues with improved funcionality and catalogues that had focused more on incorporating the Web 2.0 trends. Libraries still need to fully exploit the advancements in the technology to improve the library catalogue and modify it to the behaviour and demands of the new generation of library users in hope to re-establish the library catalogue as the ultimate reference tool.
