    Abstract
    The methodology and findings are presented of an empirical study comparing local citation patterns with the holdings lists of a number of sources of journal articles. These sources were the British Library Document Supply Centre (BLDSC) and the BL inside service, library holdings, ProQuest Direct, SearchBank, EiText and a linking system including both the Geobase database and the BLDSC. The value of local citation figures is discussed, as is the concept of a "core" of journal titles, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Using these figures to represent the local use of journal articles, the coverage of the document sources was found to vary widely. Unsurprisingly, the BLDSC was found to offer the widest coverage. Newer, electronic systems generally fared less well, but may offer other advantages.

    Abstract
    The literature of the evaluation of Internet search engines is reviewed. Although there have been many studies, there has been little consistency in the way such studies have been carried out. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that recall is virtually impossible to calculate in the fast changing Internet environment, and therefore the traditional Cranfield type of evaluation is not usually possible. A variety of alternative evaluation methods has been suggested to overcome this difficulty. The authors recommend that a standardised set of tools is developed for the evaluation of web search engines so that, in future, comparisons can be made between search engines more effectively, and that variations in performance of any given search engine over time can be tracked. The paper itself does not provide such a standard set of tools, but it investigates the issues and makes preliminary recommendations of the types of tools needed

    Abstract
    Library and information Science (LIS) educators have a responsibility to prepare their graduates for the challenging world of work. Programmes of study for future information professionals differ in content across the world but most contain a module in research methods. The aim of this paper is to review the teaching of research methods at postgraduate level in the departments of Information Science in the United Kingdom to determine current and best practice. There are 17 institutions that teach professionally accredited Information Science related courses at postgraduate level and each provide research methods teaching as preparation for the dissertation component and future employment. The methods of teaching, depth and coverage vary considerably and now is an opportune time to review practices. The last few years has seen many changes. Departments have been diversifying away from purely library and information studies. This has attracted students from a wider range of backgrounds, having a mix of different first degrees, different experiences of research methods training and different levels of IT skills. There has also been a rapid increase in the number of overseas students. At the same time, the use of virtual learning environments and other technologies has increased, and there has been changes, in some departments, towards short fat modules taught in one, two or three weeks as opposed the long thin modules taught over a much longer period of time. Semesterisation has also resulted in the dissertation component of some postgraduate programmes being downgraded in terms of time spent on research and word length. All these factors may impinge on the way research methods should be taught. Are we meeting this challenge?
