This article deals with the online public access catalog (OPAC) released by the Robert E. Turner Living Resources Center at Moraine Valley Community College in August 1989. The technical services staff of the Palos Hills, Illinois institution knew how traumatic its patrons might find the loss of the card catalog. To alert them to the catalog's imminent demise, a patient chart was created and placed on top of the catalog. The new OPAC system at Moraine was installed by Innovative Interfaces, Inc. of Berkeley, California.
