What's That Doing Here? Non‐Bibliographic Data in a Bibliographic Environment

Abstract

Thirty thousand people, using more than 450 active terminals, perform hundreds of thousands of searches daily on the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL) Public Access Catalog (PAC). The Denver Public Library, the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Denver, the University of Northern Colorado, the Colorado School of Mines, and the Auraria Library are the six libraries of CARL; about 2.6 million bibliographic records are contained in the members' databases. An additional 200,000 MARC‐based bibliographic records representing local, regional, state, and federal documents are in a database shared by two or more members.
