Abstract

Examines why online systems and CD-ROMs are producing a greater need for bibliographic instruction. Most online systems and CD-ROMs operate with the same software developed for the first online systems 20 years ago. Innovative search techniques such as natural language have spread from inhouse databases to the commercial online and CD-ROM environment. Personal Librarian and Westlaw Is Natural represent the online second generation. Discusses Personal Librarian; CD-ROM products; online expansion and DIALOG and Personal Library Software
