- Abstract
- Reports results of a survey of 675 CD-ROM users at State University of New York at Albany Libraries, obtaining data from both questionnaires and actual search strategies. The primary aim was to investigate the effect of prior user training or assistance on CD-ROM search strategy. A statistically significant but weak relationship was found between prior rtraining and level of search skill. Other measures such as user status, department affiliation of major, age, sex, and number of previous CD-ROM uses were compared to search skill. Only user status and department affiliation or major were significantly correlated to search skill. Concludes that additional research is needed on the effectiveness of various types of CD-ROM training

- Abstract
- As a constantly changing resource, the Internet poses a challenge for bibliographic instruction librarians. Until recently, there has been little effort to survey Internet users about their search behaviours or source of Internet instruction. Focuses on survey data collected at Albany University, SUNY, early in 1995. It provides information about how users learned to use the Internet (mostly by themselves), the penetration of the Internet instruction programme (only 13% of those surveyed had attended), and public awareness of both instruction and the availability of Internet terminals in the university library

- Abstract
- Reports results of a survey, conducted by the State University of New York and Albany Library, to investigate the effects of gender, college status and prior Internet experience on the use of Internet resources. The subjects were 96 randomly selected users using the library's Internet terminals during the first 2 months of 1995. The majority of users were found to share the following characteristics: male undergraduates affiliated with the social sciences; and novice users who have less than 6 months experience. Respondents felt strongly that the Internet is useful, and has been an important resource for their research and assignment. Users have high expectations of searching capabilities, while they feel neutral or disappointed with browsing. Results indicate that libraries should provide access to the Internet and suggest that libraries should take the lead in developing searchable indexes and making databases better organized for the ease and effectiveness of browsing

- Abstract
- Proposes the development of SuperPAC, an enhanced online public access catalogue with features that allow users to better evaluate the wide range of information sources made accessible through new technologies. Discusses 2 types of OPAC enhancements that would encourage users to think critically about sources: the integrated availabiblity of electronic evaluation resources, and the use of improved and augmented MARC records

- Abstract
- Considers student apprehension when encountering new information technologies and proposess a variety of active learning exercises within the framework of 4 questions that it is suggested researchers in the virtual library should be taught when learning how to search electronic sources: where am I? How do I do it? What am I trying to do? and What do I do with it?. Also details the use of student journals as an effective tool for gauging student learning and encouraging critical thinking
