From Online Public Access Cataloguing To Discovery Systems And Associated Issues In The Digital Era Cataloguing:- Okoro. C.A
ABSTRACT
The advent of digital technology has
transformed the way libraries and information centres manage their resources.
The earliest libraries used clay tablets and papyrus to catalogue their
collections, while later libraries used card cataloguing to manage their
holdings. The introduction of digital technology has enabled libraries to move
beyond traditional Cataloguing practices, providing users with a more intuitive
and userfriendly way to search and discover library materials. This shift has
revolutionised the way libraries operate, making it possible for users to
access vast amounts of information from anywhere in the world. The transition from
traditional Cataloguing practices to digital Cataloguing saw the development of
the Online Public Access Catalogues (OPACs) as a replacement for traditional
card cataloguing, providing users with a more efficient and convenient way to
search and discover library materials.
