'I'he purpose of this study is to offer the basic data in an Online Public Access Catalog(OPAC) for improving information guidance service and user interface when constructing a new system. For this purpose, users' using situations, purposes, frequencies, and types were examined and the problems of the present OPAC were found and some measures of improvement were proposed. Literature studies and a survey were paralleled in this study. The former was based on the previous studies to theorize the use of OPAC, and the latter was performed to clarify the relationships between some factors that affect the use of OPAC and OPAC's using levels, which was made on 308 users, with questionnaire and interviews, who have been using OPAC in Shimin Library.
