Source

Library review. 45(1996) no.7, S.35-41

Year

1996

Abstract

Reports results of a questionnaire survey to assess the impact of CD-ROMs on reference information services in Ghanaian libraries, how they are being used, to what extent and their advantages and disadvantages. Concludes that, although CD-ROM appear to be beneficial to reference services, there are various problems in their use in information services in general. Notes the problem of limited user access to CD-ROMs caused by over protectiveness and lack of staff training
