As I have already mentioned, the online catalog is becoming less relevant to today's universe of library automation. Many or most libraries use discovery platforms that overlay the traditional catalog and deliver data in a way that is more palatable to today's Google-centered young people. Although there are many brands, most of the discovery tools are based on the traditional information found in the MARC record. Also, keyword searches in these tools are prone to false drops. For instance, I was once given a demonstration by someone who was showing off his company's discovery tool, and he typed in the keyword search "East of Eden." It brought in results showing hits from books about Steinbeck and an encyclopedia article about the novel. He quickly moved on, but I couldn't help noticing that it also brought up records concerning Sir Anthony Eden and a book or two about the Old Testament book of Genesis.
