    Abstract
    Reports results of an evaluation study of 3 WWW based prototypes for bibliographic displays developed as part of an ongoing research project at the Faculty of Information Studies, Toronto University. The development of these prototypes builds upon results obtained in earlier phases of the project that addressed issues of both the content and form of bibliographic displays in OPACs. Anticipation of continued growth in the number of catalogues available through the WWW, combined with research evidence that existing Web based displays have not shown improvement over their text based counterparts, motivated the development of these prototypes for use on the Web. Reports findings from a focus group evaluation of the 3 prototypes and makes suggestions for future research

    Abstract
    Reports an investigation into the feasibility of usinf tutorials to train students to use on-line public access catalogues (OPACs). The library developed instructional software which conveys a conceptual model of an on-line catalogue and how it works. Reports the results of an experiment conducted to compare the effectiveness of the computer tutorial and the standard introductory classroom lecture on using the OPAC at the University of Toronto
