| 520 | |a This study explored user experiences in using Worldcat FRBR-based OPAC and Umm Al-Qura University OPAC with regard to works on Islam. FRBR with its permissible in element relationship might enhance the relationship with bibliographic records. User studies have been considered as essential in conducting this study in order to find out their experiences and perceptions to both systems. The study was concerned with four user tasks which are find, select, identify and obtain or acquire. The study allowed student to be involved in performing four tasks in searching for original work, author, editions and translated copies. The population of the study comprised of all undergraduate students of the Library and Information Science Department in Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia. The survey research method was employed to conduct the research and students were also asked to express their opinions and perceptions. Descriptive Statistic method was employed for the analysis of the data collected. This research found that respondents experienced difficulties in meeting the four user tasks while using Umm Al-Qura's online catalogue. However, they were impressed with the Worldcat and it was their first time using it. Hence, respondents preferred to have the same system in their library. It was also found that the Worldcat FRBR prototype system supports the user tasks; “find, identify, select and obtain” better than the regular online catalogue. The study also discovered perceived ease of use and perceived helpfulness of the Worldcat FRBR-based OPAC and the use of colour and design were among the factors contributing in users' differences in their opinions towards FRBR based and regular online catalogues. | ||
