    Abstract
    3 versions of 2 databases were used as examples for examining indexing, printing/downloading capabilities, and interface design in order to provide the most useful resources to the faculty, staff, and students of Penn State Harrisburg. The databases studied were ABI/Inform and PAIS available using a Z39.50 interface from the library's OPAC, FirstSearch from OCLC, and CD-ROMs from UMI and SilverPlatter

    Abstract
    Investigates the potential of conjoint analysis as a technique for evaluating reference services in academic libraries. The analysis involved 6 dimensions of reference service: definitiveness of answer; waiting times; service time; number of items given to users; hours of service; and cost of service. The items of greatest importance to users were: cost of service and the hours during which reference are available. Most users prefer that all reference services be free and that reference help be available at all times the library is open

    Abstract
    This research examines the changes that electronic information technologies have caused on power within organizations. Based on the strategic contingencies theory of intraorganizational power, a model of organizational power is developed and tested. Major features of the model include a technology index, subunit power variables, environmental variables, and bases of power variables (structure, coping with uncertainty, centrality, and substitutability). According to canonical correlation analyses, changes in library automation and changes in the environment are related to changes in both the bases of power variables and power itself. The bases of power, in turn, are related to changes in the power of the library as measured by the percent of the institutional budget allocated to the library, the number of library positions, and the perception of power
