LIBRLT110 Study Guide - Final Guide: Integrated Library System, Toronto Public Library, The New Grove Dictionary Of Music And Musicians
Document Summary
Librlt110 introduction to libraries and the information industry. A library catalogue is an essential tool that a library can use to provide access to information. Library users can access online library catalogues for materials that match their particular need, e. g. a specific author, subject, title, format, series, format, location, date of publication, call number, isbn, etc. As such, users can retrieve many materials based on very little information. An integrated library system (ils) is a management tool for tracking collection, inventory, and the movement of a collection among library users. Data that is generated from the ils is also accessible to public interfaces that users can find out what is available where, as well as manage their account. Catalogues are essential to the purpose of connecting users and resources. In this report, i will analyze the search features, display options and help feature of two online library catalogues; the toronto public library and centennial college library.
