Abstract

The Science Library Catalog project is a component of Project SEED, a hands-on science project for elementary schools based at the California Institute of Technology. The Science Library Catalog has been implemented in the libraries of two elementary schools in Los Angeles and will soon be installed in the Los Angeles Public Library, each with location-specific databases of science and technology materials. Our primary interface is a graphical browsing structure, consisting of a hierarchy of bookshelves based on the Dewey Decimal Classification, implemented in HyperCard on the Macintosh.
