    Abstract
    The role of the library in distance ducation is evolving. Guided by accreditation standards, libraries seek to meet the needs of distant learners through a variety of services and products. While the Internet plays a significant role in the access and delivery of library services, new information technology is being developed to meet the growing needs and demands of distant learners

    Abstract
    Although hundreds of undergraduate students receive library instruction when their instructors arrange for a class tour or bibliographic instruction session, thousands of other students do not. Describes the planning process that took place in the development of a cross platform interactive multimedia instruction program designed to be accessible to students with diverse information literacy skills. Covers the merits and limitations of several authoring software packages and offers some guidelines concerning time requirements

    Abstract
    Undergraduates were tested to establish how they searched databases, the effectiveness of their searches and their satisfaction with them. The students' cognitive and learning styles were determined by the Lancaster Approaches to Studying Inventory and Riding's Cognitive Styles Analysis tests. There were significant differences in the searching behaviour and the effectiveness of the searches carried out by students with different learning and cognitive styles. Computer-assisted learning (CAL) packages were developed for three departments. The effectiveness of the packages were evaluated. Significant differences were found in the ways students with different learning styles used the packages. Based on the experience gained, guidelines for the teaching of information skills and the production and use of packages were prepared. About 2/3 of the searches had serious weaknesses, indicating a need for effective training. It appears that choice of searching strategies, search effectiveness and use of CAL packages are all affected by the cognitive and learning styles of the searcher. Therefore, students should be made aware of their own styles and, if appropriate, how to adopt more effective strategies

    Abstract
    Moderne Lehr-Lern-Technologien führen zu weitreichenden Veränderungen im Bildungswesen. Gleichzeitig wirft ihr einsatz neue fragen auf, z.B. hinsichtlich des hohen Erstellungs- und Pflegeaufwandes sowie planerisch-organisatorischer Probleme in den Hochschulen. Anknüpfend an die HRK-Empfehlungen werden insbesondere folgende Fragen aufgegriffen: Information über verfügbare Lehrprogramme; die Rolle von Rechen-/Medienzentren und Bibliotheken; die inhaltliche Verantwortung der Fachbereiche; sinnvolle Einstiegsfelder medialer Lehrangebote; Kooperation und Wettbewerb zwischen den Hochschulen; Erweiterung der Entscheidungs- und Handlungsautonomie der Hochschulen; finanzierungsbedingungen und Anreize für die Erstellung medialer Lehrprogramme. Zusammenfassend ist darauf hinzuweisen, daß Medienlehre hohe Potentiale für das Selbstlernen und die Anpassung an individuelle Lernbedingungen enthält, die konkrete Umsetzung jedoch neue realistische Konzepte erfordert

    Abstract
    The interest of Australian academics in library and information studies is manifest in 2 themes: technology for information practice and technology for learning. These themes underlie the integration of information technology into education for information professionals. Surveys carried out in the early 1980s highlighted the applications of technology, particularly in online cataloguing and online searching. The study reported in this paper aimed to explore the extent of use and non-use od computer-assisted learning and teaching in Australian schools of library and information studies in the early 1990s. The results indicate more widespread use of computer-assisted learning than computer-assisted teaching. There is considerably diversity in courses where computer-assisted learning is included in the packages used by students. More than half of the schools surveyed have plans to extend computer-assisted learning over the next three years. In order to take full advantage of the potential of computer-assisted learning, academies in schools of library and information studies in Australia will need to cooperate with each other, with academics and industry-based colleagues in computer-based training and education, and with similar schools in overseas countries

    Abstract
    Teaching users and other staff how to find information has always been part of the job descriptions of librarians and information service professionals. As more and more information is being delivered directly to users' desktops, there is an opportunity to change how training is delivered. Looks at the advantages of Internet based user training, and outlines the various steps in the design, implementation and testing of Web tutorials

    Abstract
    Reports a study of undergraduate students' use of computer-based information retrieval services in relation to their cognitive and learning styles. Includes a survey of staff at Sheffield University, UK on their use of computer databases and the extend to which undergraduates are made aware of these services. Results show that undergraduate use is low and varies greatly between students of differnt faculties. Student searching behaviour was found to be basic and their performance inadequate. Significant correlation's between cognitive and learning styles and search behaviour were found. Computer-assisted learning (CAL) packages were developed and customised for 3 departments. Guidelines were drawn up based on the project's findings for introducing a computerised information sources programme into the undergraduate curriculum and preparing CAL teaching packages on information skills
