A PILOT-STUDY OF OCLC CJK PLUS AS OPAC

This article reports the responses of 32 Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean participants to the possible extension to an OPAC of OCLC CJK Plus. Korean and Taiwanese participants are less satisfied with th e system than are Japanese and Chinese. Unfamiliarity with the CJK wor d division, diacritics, romanization, and lack of local standard keybo ard support were the major reasons for this dissatisfaction. More comp rehensive studies of each CJK language, and more user interface studie s, are needed if a better system is to emerge.
