Abstract

The characteristics of typical Online Public Access Catalogs are discussed. Patron use of these features is surveyed and analyzed. Usage patterns indicate that features are not effectively used by patrons due to lack of awareness of the features and their potential. The need for point‐of‐use prompts and bibliographic instruction is stressed.
