The question of what the catalog should be and what it ought to represent for libraries in the twenty-first century remains to be resolved, if it ever can be. Between 1994 and 2001 the ALCTS Catalog Form and Function Committee produced a series of planning briefs and position papers on the future of the OPAC. The work focused on what librarians could do to facilitate users’ ability to identify and access the myriad resources that were just then becoming available. While this challenge has in no way been settled this collection of essays brings together into one work, for the first time, those far-reaching efforts as a guide to where we have been and how we might respond to the challenges facing the OPAC of the future.
