Resistance to Online Catalogs: A Comparative Study at Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges.
Walton, Carol; And Others
Library Resources and Technical Services, v30 n4 p388-401 Oct-Dec 1986
Surveys of student and faculty attitudes toward proposed online public access catalogs were conducted in 1984 at Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore. The traditional card catalog was generally favored; only Swarthmore's faculty gave majority support to the online catalog. Differences between colleges may result from Swarthmore's greater experience with campuswide computing. (EM)
