Date: 2001
Content Type: Still Image
Description: Temasek Polytechnic Library used a "red" colour theme to draw attention when it launched the online audio-visual materials catalog in 2001. Located prominently in front of the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) counter at level 4, the catalogue was developed using Procite, the popular bibliographic management software. The audio-visual catalogue was used to search and list all titles of a particular format (for example, music CDs, video tapes) or topic (for example, rock climbing). Virtual browsing of the shelves from the AV Catalogue PC was also possible. Alternatively, users could stroll down the aisles between the video shelves to browse the titles under the bright red coloured shelf guides.
