Computing trends that began in the 1980s have enabled low-cost digital storage of information, rapid transmission of data across computer networks, and sophisticated retrieval and processing of electronic documents and information.
Online catalogs allow for rapid searching in each of these designated fields, as well as in some fields—such as the type of publication or the language in which a work was written—that were not searchable in the past.
Online catalogs also typically allow users to determine whether a given item has been checked out by another user, and if so, when the item is due back in the library.
