Abstract

MOSCOSO, Purificación  and  ORTIZ-REPISO, Virginia. OPACs on the Web: Between tradition and innovation. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2002, n.6, pp.34-52. ISSN 1514-8327.

Internet development has driven the implementation of OPACs in that environment. Changes of these new OPACs as referred to catalog structure, management, and maintenance, retrieval systems and user interface are analyzed. The survival of traditional practices in the information structure and organization avoids them to be considered an innovative tool. The database structure is studied as well as the traditional principles that govern their elaboration. Effects of keeping using rules and formats designed for a manual environment, which is absolutely different from the present day technological environment are analyzed.

Keywords : Online Public Acces Catalog; OPACS; Web.
