Abstract

The proliferation of information has placed pressure on librarians to assist library patrons to use information efficiently. Ohio State University libraries have developed a microcomputer program that enables library users to identify, locate, evaluate and select information independently, regardless of format. The gateway's evaluations demonstrate that it is an effective and user-friendly information tool for a wide range of library patrons. The gateway is now available on all of the libraries' terminals

Abstract

Effective problem solving in a complex society requires educated citizens who possess the ability to identify, acquire, and evaluate available information on a particular topic, question, or problem. With the vast increase in the quantity of information available today, however, many people experience great difficulty with such information-seeking activities, especially those that involve using cumbersome computer systems. Describes a project that explores how a computerised library system can be developed that integrates access to multiple sources of information and provides embedded training on their use
