New Age OPACs: Innovative Public Access Systems

[Gerry Mckiernan]

           _New Age OPACs: Innovative Public Access Systems_

   After a hiatus of two (2) years, I will be reliving [:-)] one of my early Web obsessions devoted to innovative online public access catalogs. As many of you know, back in the late 1990s, I established a clearinghouse focused on Innovative Public Access Systems called Onion Patch(sm) 
 
        [http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/Onion.htm ]

   Over the course of the next few months, I will be reviewing and updating Onion Patch(sm) and am interested in identifying and incorporating additional  novel/ingenious OPACs that are not presently profiled.

   As, Always, Any and All contributions, suggestions, comments, queries, 
critiques, concerns, Cosmic Insights, or Resignations are Most Welcome!
