The Macintoshed Media Catalog: Helping People Find What They Need in Spite of LC

Abstract

Discusses the problems of accessing non‐print media catalogued on LC classification. Describes the Macintosh hardware configuration used at an American university library to catalogue visual media, and to produce specific catalogues for various non‐print media by subject. Surmises that the cataloguing change has been a marked improvement, increasing visual media use by 600 per cent.
