- Abstract
- Describes the efforts of Knight-Ridder Information (KRI) and Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) to provide Web based training systems. The KRI tutorial covers the DIALOG Web service, describes the technology, the tutorial and evaluates its usefulness. D&B's web based training trains users on its online system. It is more advanced than the KRI tutorial. Describes its training modules, and its testing of methods and technologies. The University of Texas as Austin has developed 2 tutorials on searching for patents and trademarks

- Abstract
- Describes the work of a task force of librarians, at Illinois University at Chicago, in developing an introductory course on the online searching of the Internet and which was conducted over the University's electronic mail network. The 16 lesson course was distributed via listserv to students, staff, residents, and faculty (some using university facilities and some using equipment at their home or office) in various locations throughout the state. Initially, more than 450 people subscribes. Subscribers received 2 lessons a week for 8 weeks. Lessons were made available via FTP ot gopher after initial distribution. Content included basic information, troubleshooting advice, and exercises for practice. Pre and post tests were conducted via listserv to assess the participants' prior knowledge and subsequent knowledge gain. Describes the development of the online course, discusses the results of pre and post tests, and notes the implications for the library's instructional role of using an online instruction medium
