Title

Developing and using the online catalog to teach critical thinking

Source

Information technology and libraries. 7(1988), S.30-40

Year

1988

Abstract

Students are understandably bored with learning online catalog use when the focus is on the technicalities of the catalog itself rather than upon issues central to the educational experience. AutoCat, the online public access catalog developed at Dickinson College, was designed to force students to make informed choices as the search progresses. Teaching use of the catalog, therefore, focuses on the critical-thinking process necessary for formulating and researching a topic, an issue that is central to undergraduate education.
