Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze and evaluate the characteristics of online catalogs’ interface of children’s libraries, and to propose how to design user-friendly interfaces. The online catalogs of 77 children’s libraries which are registered on the National Library Statistics System as of December 2011 were analyzed. They are categorized into 7 types based on interface’s characteristics. Such topics as the features of search methods, the record display formats, the terminology usage, and the special features of the 7 types were examined and discussed. Some shortcomings were examined and how to improve them was suggested.
