Existing Online Public Access Catalogues (OPACs) demonstrate differences in the range and complexity of their functional features, terminology, and help facilities. While many libraries already have OPACs, there is a need to bring together, in the form of guidelines or recommendations, a corpus of good practice to assist libraries in designing or re-designing the displays for their OPACs, taking into consideration the needs of users. The audience for these guidelines is librarians charged with customizing OPAC software and vendors and producers of this software. The guidelines are mainly designed

Au cœur du Poitou, le site de Vouneuil-sous-Biard (Vienne) s’inscrit dans un contexte riche en vestiges archéologiques depuis la haute Antiquité. Situé dans un méandre de la rivière Boivre, aux abords sud-ouest de la cité épiscopale de Poitiers, il fait partie d’un dense réseau de sanctuaires chrétiens établi entre le ive et le viie siècles. Avec près de 2 500 fragments de stucs mis au jour entre 1984 et 1986, l’ensemble de Vouneuil-sous-Biard se place – par la quantité recueillie – bien au-delà des lots découverts jusqu’à présent à Bordeaux ou Saint-Denis, qui ne dépassaient pas deux ou trois cents unités. Les comparaisons opérées avec les rares stucs déjà découverts en France et à l’étranger, conduisent vers les sources italiennes de l’Antiquité tardive et notamment Ravenne. Afin de cerner la spécificité du corpus de Vouneuil, chaque élément de stuc a été étudié comme un objet archéologique susceptible de livrer des informations sur sa réalisation et sa place dans un décor complet. Grâce aux relevés dessinés, ont été pris en compte les différents états de réalisation non seulement du matériau stuc lui-même mais aussi des couches picturales et des badigeons. De même que l’étude des traces d’accrochage au dos des stucs, des éléments de fixation, des bordures des pièces, ont été autant d’indices pour comprendre les techniques et les modes de mise en œuvre dans l’espace. C’est à partir de ces indications et du travail en relation avec l’iconographie qu’ont pu être compris progressivement la position des pièces essentielles afin de restituer ce puzzle monumental dispersé. Il est apparu ainsi des jeux d’arcatures monumentales avec personnages et plusieurs registres de décor. Situé entre Loire et Gironde, Vouneuil-sous-Biard n’a pas dû échapper, au ve siècle, à un contexte politique marqué, entre autres, par l’opposition de familles sénatoriales et d’évêques face à l’arianisme wisigoth. Après la victoire des Francs à Vouillé en 507, il apparaissait peut-être utile de…

"Today on almost every desk in every office sits a computer. Eighty years ago, desktops were equipped with a nonelectronic data processing machine: a card file. In Paper Machines, Markus Krajewski traces the evolution of this proto-computer of rearrangeable parts (file cards) that became ubiquitous in offices between the world wars. The story begins with Konrad Gessner, a sixteenth-century Swiss polymath who described a new method of processing data: to cut up a sheet of handwritten notes into slips of paper, with one fact or topic per slip, and arrange as desired. In the late eighteenth century, the card catalog became the librarian's answer to the threat of information overload. Then, at the turn of the twentieth century, business adopted the technology of the card catalog as a bookkeeping tool. Krajewski explores this conceptual development and casts the card file as a "universal paper machine" that accomplishes the basic operations of Turing's universal discrete machine: storing, processing, and transferring data. In telling his story, Krajewski takes the reader on a number of illuminating detours, telling us, for example, that the card catalog and the numbered street address emerged at the same time in the same city (Vienna), and that Harvard University's home-grown cataloging system grew out of a librarian's laziness; and that Melvil Dewey (originator of the Dewey Decimal System) helped bring about the technology transfer of card files to business."--Publisher's website.
