Abstract
Developments in library automation technology have changed the role of the library’s Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). Users can access Internet resources through the hot links provided in OPAC. OPAC is no longer an inventory list or a finding aid only for what the library owns, but rather for everything to which the library has access. It has changed from just a list to a comprehensive content delivery mechanism. This paper discusses the new nature of OPAC, explores ways to enrich the contents of cataloging records to provide easy access for Internet resources, and explains how the task force at the University of Rochester Libraries made decisions on cataloging Internet resources and customizing OPAC using the Voyager system.
