Increasingly, libraries are migrating to Web-based catalogs.  This
is the latest fashion.  Our program will examine the ways in which
our online catalogs fit our institutions, our libraries, and our
patrons. How do we get complex system functionality and easily
understood public displays?  Each of our presenters will address the
issues from their own research or perspective.  This program was
designed to reach both public and academic librarians in public
services and technical services.
