    Abstract
    Notes the growing trends among CD-ROM producers towards the provision of CD-ROM search software to be run on the Macintosh microcomputer. Reviews the particular features of one such system, MacSPIRS, developed by SilverPlatter Information Inc., by examining MEDLINE, one of the databases running on MacSPIRS (ver.2.1). Evaluates the best features of the software, the way in which records are displayed, Boolean operators and other advanced search features, printing of records, and help information. Notes some of the confusing features of the system and concludes that the impressions gained by users of the sysem will depend largely on their previous CD-ROM searching experience

    Abstract
    New users encounter numerous stumbling blocks in their search for periodicals, including use of indexes; understanding the citation; searching the online catalogue for the periodical record; interpreting the periodicals holdings; and finally locating the item on the shelf. Each step presents problems that users bring to the reference desk. Suggests user oriented solutions relating to cataloguing practices, screen design, and linking local holdings to periodical databases. Increased collaboration between librarians and those creating the records and providing the access is essential for meeting end user needs
