description | <p>The study aims to find out whether important search techniques could be employed to find records in the ten online<strong> </strong>public access catalogs (OPACs) tested. The following search tests are conducted: (1) test to determine the fields<strong> </strong>used as access point to records, and the number of fields searched when a two-word syntax was used; (2) search<strong> </strong>using one to three charaters, one word, and English stopwords; (3) search using boolean AND, OR or NOT and their<strong> </strong>combinations; (4) phrase search; (5) truncation search; and (6) search using filters (e.g., language or year of publication)<strong> </strong>provided by the OPACs. Results of the tests were: (1) access to records was available through title, author,<strong> </strong>subject, series, and note in eight systems; (2) a two-word syntax was searched only in one field in all systems; (3)<strong> </strong>English words and syntaxes of one to three characters were searched in eight systems; (4) boolean operators AND,<strong> </strong>OR and NOT and their combinations could be used only in one system; (5) search employing filters could be<strong> </strong>performed in three systems. It was concluded that nine of the ten OPACs could not provide optimal access to<strong> </strong>records. The OPAC is the only access to library collections for those who search through the Internet; therefore,<strong> </strong>complete search tests of its search facilities are required before a system is released. Further research is needed to<strong> </strong>find efficient search test methods that could be used by the developers and librarians to prove that a search facility<strong> </strong>functions.</p> |
