    Abstract
    Adapted from a paper delivered at the Art Libraries Society of North America Annual Conference, Jan.93. In many libraries the OPAC has become the multifile OPAC, a new environment with greatly expanded access options and increased complexity of access procedures. Describes a strategy devised by the University of Nevada, Las vegas Library, for developing an instruction programme in the multifile OPAC environment in a systematic manageable ways. Discusses the 4 areas which emerged as basic to an instruction programme for multifile OPACs: selection criteria for the various databases; access procedures; approaches useful in searching new systems; and search concepts relevant across databases
