Guidelines for Online Public Access Catalogue Displays: Final Report, May 2005

From the Final Report of the Task Force on Guidelines for OPAC Displays in May 2005, this handbook provides common international practices for displays designed by librarians of general collections in the humanities, social sciences, and pure and applied sciences. The standards serve to facilitate public use from catalog to catalog. Focusing on authority and bibliographic information, the guidelines are divided into principles and recommendations, based on user needs, content, arrangement, and standardization, with examples of screen shots. There is no index.
