Abstract
  • Presented at the Oregon Library Association Annual Conference, Corvallis, Oregon, on April 20, 2007.
  • Presentation about the future of online public access catalogs. I discuss whether or not the catalog; or, more specifically, the local OPAC, has a future and the other search and discovery tools the OPAC is competing with. I also review short-term and long-term changes that are necessary for OPACs to be a viable search and discovery option for our patrons. I review the current landscape including some vendor OPACs, open source options, and the need to compare library search with that of other search and retrieval tools on the web.
