- Abstract
- Details the use of multimedia CD-ROMs by people in their homes. Investigates how users interact with the systems and gather data which they consider to be relevant evaluation criteria. Defines what is considered to be interactive multimedia in relation to home products and considers the characteristics of home users. Reviews systems evaluation methods in the fields of computer assisted learning, human computer interaction, and information retrieval. Gives factors considered to be specifically relevant to the home use situation, and details the methods employed in the study

- 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
- CD-ROMs generate increased questions that require individual instruction, staff training and bibliographic instruction. Many libraries are moving away from CD-ROMs towards locally mounted databases and access to remote databases, but the variety and sheer number of CD-ROMs may guarantee their survival, especially in larger university libraries or special libraries. With increasing services and collections offered, quality reference service may decay. Discusses undergraduates and the learning process and improvements to service instruction and the reference service

- Abstract
- Considers the issue of point of use user training for users of CD-ROM databases including consideration of whether any such instruction should be provided; whether only minimal instruction should be provided; how library or user type may influence levels of service; and how to balance the reference desk demands in the age of proliferating CD-ROM databases. Concludes that it is unrealistic to expect to place a definite time limit on point of use user training for CD-ROMs, apart from eliminating it altogether. Recognition of the need to balance CD-ROM point of use training with other reference services should help libraries to come closer to the ideal of a prioritized library service

- Abstract
- Describes the advantages of CD-ROMs over printed and on-line sources: large storage capacity, relative cheapness and minimum instruction required to undertake searches. Identifies 5 main criteria from the literature which should be considered when introducing this technology into reference libraries. Cost, currency and contents should be considered when comparing their usefulness with other media. At present, CD-ROMs offer the most efficient service when used in conjunction with both printed and on-line media

- Abstract
- Every librarian knows undergraduate students rarely evaluate the information they find in a print index, much less what comes from a computer sreen. This knowledge is compounded by the undergraduate's belief that anything coming from the Internet is the gospel truth. Is the Internet being integrated into library instruction, taught as another research tool, or taught as something soecial? Are students being taught to evaluate Internet resources? In this annotated bibliography, Hahn examines journal articles, book chapters, and Web sites that discuss the evaluation of information found through the Internet

- Abstract
- An increasing numner of CD-ROM products, as well as online products previously accessible via telnet or other dial-up ooptions, are now being made accessible via the WWW. Discusses the usefulness to the academic reference librarian of Web-based databases comparing them to CD-ROM, print and online reference resources. One of the most important reasons for selecting Web-based databases is the opportunity for remote end-user access, particularly essential for distance education programmes. Describes recent research that shows that whatever the format, there is an increased need for user instruction in the appropriate use of reference material

- Abstract
- Database usage data from a random sample of academic and public libraries in the U.S. and Canada reveals patterns of use in selected types of libraries. Library users in both public and academic libraries tend to use commercial online databases most frequently early in the week, mid-day, and at times that correspond to the academic calendar (November in this six-month sample.) The mean number of simultaneous users is correlated with the size of the population served and the number of workstations available, but relatively low numbers of users are simultaneously logged on to research databases at all sizes of libraries. A questionnaire sent to these same libraries identified many other factors that might influence database use, including levels of instruction, availability of remote login, placement of a database on the library's homepage, although none of these factors was found to be statistically significant
