    Abstract
    Traces the development of text searching and retrieval software designed to cope with the increasing demands made by the storage and handling of large amounts of data, recorded on high data storage media, from CD-ROM to multi gigabyte storage media and online information services, with particular reference to the need to cope with graphics as well as conventional ASCII text. Includes details of: Boolean searching, fuzzy searching and matching; relevance ranking; proximity searching and improved strategies for dealing with text searching in very large databases. Concludes that the best searching tools for CD-ROM publishers are those optimized for searching and retrieval on CD-ROM. CD-ROM drives have relatively lower random seek times than hard discs and so the software most appropriate to the medium is that which can effectively arrange the indexes and text on the CD-ROM to avoid continuous random access searching. Lists and reviews a selection of software packages designed to achieve the sort of results required for rapid CD-ROM searching

    Abstract
    Describes the InfoAccess Project at the Univ of Saskatchewan Libraries which compared searching of manual and automated indexes by 22 undergraduate psychology students to determine their searching preferences by ranking 'Psychological abstracts' in 3 formats: print, CD-ROM and a locally mounted tape service called InfoAccess. Their satisfaction regarding the physical environment, equipment, and instructional aids was also recorded. Users preferred to search with CD-ROM, but found InfoAccess to be an acceptable alternative

    Abstract
    Contribution to an issue devoted on the weeding and maintenance of reference collections. CD-ROM has become part of the library universe and increasing numbers of libraries are considering the acquisition of reference tools in the new format. Issues of evaluation and selection, hardware purchase, and budget are primary concerns in this decision. Many aspects of day-to-day maintenance and access to CD-ROM sources must also be considered in the evaluation process. These issue-space, security, the care and feeding of hardware and software, reference assistance, staffing and staff training, and user instruction are vital to the success of CD-ROM in the library. Focuses particularly on literature about training for staff and users.

    Abstract
    In 1989, Pomona College and Claremont McKenna College, two of the Claremont Colleges, received a grant funded by the Knight Foundation through its Excellence in Undergraduate Education program. As fulfilment of the grant's objectives to strengthen library services and to provide remote access to electronic databases, a CD-ROM network was installed at the libraries. Discusses the establishment of the network, the planning and delivery of instruction in use of both local and remote databases, and the impact of electronic technologies of the libraries of the Claremont Colleges

    Abstract
    Reports a survey of all academic members of the Association of Research Libraries in the 4th quarter of 1997 which examined how academic libraries incorporate electronic information sources into their reference activities and the effects on libraries services. There was a response rate of 68 per cent, Compares results surveys carried out in 1991 and 1994. The survey covered: numbers of computers access options (intermediary, end user online, CD-ROM locally loaded databases or those accessible through the library catalogue and the Internet. There is a trend away from print resources, particularly indexing and abstracting materials, and away from CD-ROM LANs and local loading of databases towards remote online resources

    Abstract
    Lists 19 tips, based on the author's experience with IBM compatible CD-ROM workstations, designed to yield improved performance by more efficient use of the computer hardware, particularly the hard disc. The tips also apply to Macintosh workstations. Covers: optimising files; placing CD-ROM software at the front of the hard disc; using disc caching software; use of the autopark facility; checking the interleave; browsing for orphan files; using CHKDSK/f command; low level formatting of hard disc; purchasing of microcomputers with large RAM caches; stepping up in MHZ and CPU; using more memory and memory management software; putting full path before software is loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT and batch files; REM software specific lines in AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS; feeding paper tp printer from a box on the flor; booting up in turbo mode and with Num Lock off; speeding up cursor keys; and protecting system enhancements

    Abstract
    Points to the trends in libraries and information services to shift away from the use of long established online hosts (such as DIALOG and STN) towards the use of CD-ROMs and direct access services, such as BIDS, Janet and CHEST, Illustrates the trend with statistics of host based MEDLINE searches conducted at the Barnes Library, Birmingham University; which show a decline from 526 searches in 1991/92 to 22 searches in 1995/96. Describes the process undertaken within the Information Services, Birminghampton University, to define a policy for the possible continuation of their mediated online searching service. Reports results of a questionnaire survey of other UK higher education institutions which confirmed their own feelings that the provision of such services was in decline, due largely to the shift towards end user access. With the increasing availability of nationally site licensed databases and locally available CD-ROMs, it is likely the researchers will ignore other commercial information services

    Abstract
    Reports on a survey of ARL (Ass. of Research Libraries) members in the USA in 1994, which sought to find out the electronic reference services that are offered by these libraries and how the services affect reference staff, the expectations of users, and user instruction. The services covered include CD-ROM, intermediary online searching, end user online (e.g. FirstSearch), tape loaded databases and user access to the Internet, including electronic mail facilities. Highlights the additional workload the provision of these services involves, and the sometimes unrealistic expectations of users especially with regard to Internet resources

    Abstract
    Describes how the department of teacher education of the Catholic College of Leuven at Heverlee in Belgium created a large database of audiovisual materials in a short time in the near absence of existing CD-ROM or online databases from which it might have downloaded. Discusses the advantage of making a new database from existing one and describes the origins of the project, the software and database structure, selection criteria, initial success, and problems. Considers the quality of the data, describes the continuation of the project and evaluates the project
