Multimedia Catalog: COM and Online

Abstract

Like many public libraries, the Tucson Public Library (TPL) is closing its card catalog and implementing a vendor supplied microform catalog. Unlike mos tof these other libraries, however, the TPL microform catalog will not include location or holding information. The indication of where copies of a particular title are actually available (i.e., which of the fifteen possible branch locations) will be availableonly by accessing a video display terminal connected to the online circulation and inventory control system.
