    Abstract
    Selecting electronic resources requires both a policy statement to guide collection development and management and procedures to manage the process of selecting and handling these resources. Both policy and procedures must be crafted in response to local priorities, resources, limitations, and organizational structure. This paper examines issues that should be addressed when developing local procedures. Particular emphasis is given to preparing a mechanism to guide selection. One possible model - a decision-making matrix to guide selection between various media and modes of information delivery - is explored.

    Abstract
    This paper highlights some of the significant findings from author's PhD: "Factors affecting the end-use of electronic databases in public libraries." Public libraries have a wide range of different types of users who, unlike academic or special library users, are not necessarily information-trained (see Coles, 1998). Whereas the academic, special library user may have specific information needs that can be met by electronic sources, public library users do not necessarily have such specific information needs that can easily be identified and met. Most user surveys have tended to concentrate on the searching and retrieval aspect of information seeking behaviour, whereas this study's user survey focused more on how people perceived and related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It was not how people searched a particular electronic source, in this case CD-ROM, that was of prime interest but rather whether or not people actually used them at all and the reasons why people did or did not use electronic media. There were several reasons the study looked at CD-ROM specifically. Firstly, CD-ROM is a well established technology, most people should be familiar with CD-ROM/multimedia. Secondly, CD-ROM was, at the start of the study, the only open access electronic media widely available in public libraries. As well as examining why public library users chose to use electronic sources, the paper looks at the types of CD-ROM databases used both in the library and in general Also examined are what sort of searches users carried out. Where appropriate some of the problems inherent in studying end-users in public libraries and the difficulty in getting reliable data, are discussed. Several methods were used to collect the data. I wished to avoid limiting research to a small sample of library sites, the aim was to be as broad in scope as possible. There were two main groups of people 1 wished to look at: non-users as well as CD-ROM users

    Abstract
    Resource based teaching is now being promoted in schools across the USA. Resource based teaching involves teachers and school librarians working together in partnership to plan, teach and evaluate instructional units which more fully employ the media resources and skills available. It requires full integration of library research and reference skills into the school's curriculum. Discusses the librarian's role in curriculum planning, the problems that may face librarians as they push for implementation of resource based teaching and the broad competencies required of media specialists in order for resource based teaching to be properly implemented. Resource based teaching ensures the fullest potential ise of all library media as resources not just for library skills instruction but for research and information seeking reference tools instruction, for problem solving skills development, and for delivery of the total school curriculum

    Abstract
    CD-ROM based information retrieval systems, which have been used in academic libraries since the late 80's are now being found in many high school library media centres. The purpose of this study was to determine if students who use the CD-ROM database found more articles in less time than those who used the print version of the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature and if they were more satisfied with this search method

    Abstract
    Urges librarians engaged in bibliographical instruction to develop programmes in mass media news sources, and suggests how the theory of news framing and sourcing may be used to develop critical thinking, in particular for multicultural populations. Reports on a comparison of 2 news topics as they were covered by what are described as corporate news sources and independent non corporate sources. Suggests ways in which decisions about framing and sourcing can serve an ideological agenda that is not sensitive to multicultural viewpoints

    Abstract
    As the nature of information becomes increasingly complex, academic librarians might wish to use critical thinking and media literacy approaches in bibliographic instruction. However, librarians have at the same time to guard against influencing a patron's choice of reference tools because such influence may reflect a bias on the part of the librarian. Presents a case study which compares reprint articles in the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail with their originals taken from the New York Times. Findings show that these reprints all undergo reduction and that those dealing with controversial issues experience significantly greater cuts than articles dealing with subjects such as lifestyle and business, thus affecting readers' perception of the presented issues. This case study indicates the responsibility of the academic librarian to warn patrons about the limitations of what may appear to be unimpaechable reference tools and to integrate news media literacy and critical thinking skills into active reference work

    Abstract
    Examines the traditional role of the reference librarian and considers changes as the result of information technology. CD-ROMs are revolutionising the way reference services are organised; they change the priorities and affect the basic skills of the staff. The changes that occur are evident in 5 major areas: the range of databases in a multi-media environment; the chnaging function of the reference service; the retraining of staff and users; the changing of reference interview; and the reappraisal of user education

    Abstract
    Discusses some obstacles to the use of electronic information. Outlines the major differences between information from online, CD-ROM and Web sources. Analyzes data from Arhus Public Library's (Denmak) business information services, 1992-96, citing electronic information media as the reason for the decrease in the number of enquiries after 1994. States that future users of electronic information will need a more professional attitude and new skills. Defines a concept of 'Web information literacy' and discusses 2 implications: knowledge about the Internet and its resources, and innovativeness as a major component in Internet user skills

    Abstract
    Policy paper prepared by the Centre for Communication and Information Studies, Westminster University, London, for the British Library Board. Reports the results of a study of changes in the provision of electronic information to end users in UK academic libraries, conducted by the Centre for Communication and Information Studies, Westminster University, during the period 1988 to 1992. The period has seen a shift in expenditure from external online information services to CD-ROM, with over 70% of universities either planning or running local CD-ROM networks. There is some evidence of a modest amount of media substitution from printed information services to electronic, including a decline in online expenditure. The Bath Information and Data Service end user service has had a similar impact on alternative access media. The commercial online host market has eluded the end user market, being the most exclusive reserve of librarian mediators. Questions arising from the study include: how appropriate to the users' needs are the new networked services; what feedback and evaluation procedures are required; what is the nature of the support role of libraries in these changing circumstances; what additional resources; how and by whom are end user services to be financed; and how is wider access to database services impacting on ancillary services such as document delivery? In response, CCIS has formulated a research programme to extend the current quantitative work in the area of evaluating end user needs, activities and preferences in relation to information sources
