Abstract
ABSTRACT Subject access functionality has yet to reach its lull potential in our current library online public access catalog (OPAC) environment. Controlled vocabularies are used, but not fully available to the user. A summary of earlier research identifying user needs in an online catalog environment and suggested solutions will be presented. Examples of current technologies which incorporate controlled vocabularies such as thesauri and classifications to facilitate subject access in online environments will be introduced.
