Abstract
The article discusses the next-generation catalog (NGC) features in the legacy online public access catalogs (OPAC) of academic libraries in the U.S. and Canada in 2011. It says that the NGC has several features including a single point entry for all library resources, faceted navigation, enriched content, state-of-the-art web interface and persistent links. According to the author, the NGC features in OPAC are minor and cosmetic. The use of Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is also discussed.
