- Abstract
- Describes the use of presentation software, at Texas A&M University, for computer assisted instruction to train end users in the use of the OPAC. The software chosen for the University's Sterling C. Evans Library is Show Partner F/X. Major software attributes include: the ability to capture and download screens from NOTIS or other applications, including dialog searches and CD-ROM data bases; the ability to create original graphics and text

- Abstract
- Reports the results of a questionnaire survey of 414 libraries in 4 categories: academic libraries; school libraries; public libraries and special libraries; to assess the status of library training initiatives with respect to the libraries' OPACs. Answers were sought to 3 questions: how have libraries modifoed OPAC software; have libraries developed any instructional methods for teaching the use of OPACs; and to what extent are online catalogues self instructional? Results show that most participants' libraries have modofied library OPAC software; librarians continue to teach use of the online catalogue, depending heavily on handouts; few systems have built-in tutorials for users; and very fes have developed computer assisted instruction for the OPAC

- Abstract
- Presents a study questioning catalogue users at Emporia State Univ. about their experiences and their evaluation of NOTIS in order to access how patrons felt about the catalogue and how well they used it. The study focused on the instruction offered by 59 randomly selected NOTIS libraries. Responses were solicited concerning the university or college, the library, and training methods for OPAC users. With the information gained through both parts, the library instruction program and information regarding NOTIS at White Library could be evaluated and modified

- 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

- Abstract
- In an experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of a concept based computer tutorial for training OPAC users, it was found that Toronto University students who viewed the tutorial performed significantly better on search tasks than those who received no instruction. Reports the results of a second experiment to investigate the effectiveness of the computer tutorial. 15 students viewed the computer tutorial and another 15 students served as a control group and did not receive any instruction. Results showed no significant differences in performance between the students who viewed the computer tutorial and those who did not receive any instruction. Discusses the differences between the results of the 2 experiments in terms of the characteristics of the participants and the characteristics of the OPACs and relates these findings to the findings of other studies on concept based instruction and offer suggestions for future research

- "Librarians should be careful to distinguish between their own abilities and those of their patrons when designing information systems, bibliographic instruction programs, and similar library services. The abilities of professionals may lead to preferences for sophisticated interfaces, complex instructional programs, or services that assumehigh levels of cognitive abilities, while their library patrons may find browse interfaces, simple point-of-need instruction, and basic services to be more appropriate to their levels of cognitive abilities

- Reports on a study at an elementary school in Washington, DC examining pupils' use of an OPAC. Presents this within the overall instructional environment of the school in order to open a window on the broader interaction of children, technology, curriculum, instruction and learning. Explains the methodology used in the study, the findings of the study, and notes a number of conclusions. Focuses in particular on the patterns of success and failure of children's use of the OPAC, their search strategies and the nature of their interaction with the OPAC

These principles, when put in practice as specific guidelines, deamlessly link information sources together, regardless of their implementation medium, information structure, or interface style. Examples are drawn from a section of four-unit elective undergraduate course taught in the Department of LIS, University of California, Los Angeles

- Abstract
- Computerised information retrieval systems, both online and on CD-ROM, have been available to students at the Stern Business Library at New York Univ. for several years. The means of ensuring that students derive maximum benefit from the new technology have included mandatory and optical workshops, and handouts alone. Presents the rationale for no longer offering user instruction other than in the form of prepared handouts designed to introduce the basic characteristics of a product and describes how to retrieve the relevant business information needed by graduate business students. Considers whether end-user instruction is still necessary or practical at the college level. Describes events at the Stern Business Library which indicate that it is not necessary

Much individual, and perhaps redundant, effort is being devoted by librarians to developing these services. This article describes as aspect of a research project conducted at Northwestern University designed to provide a model of online catalog instruction that could be modified and adopted by other academic libraries

- Abstract
- Arizona State University installed the Tandem-based CARL integrated library system in 1987. This software supports all the traditional functions of an integrated system plus the ability to act as a platform for creating or loading multiple databases. The functionality of CARL software for this purpose is described, a brief rundown of databases loaded at ASU is provided, and the criteria for selecting databases is given. Public response and library instruction issues for locally loaded databases are briefly examined as is the future of the electronic library

- Abstract
- Networks allow different users from outside the library to have remote access to library catalogues. These remote users may face problems that differ from the OPAC users' in the library. They may not be comfortable with the computer technology and may not be familiar with the OPAC of the library. Libraries should offer different support services from those provided to on-site users. These users need technical advice as well as special instruction aids and guides to lead them to the information they want to retrieve

- Abstract
- Considers the user-friendliness or lack of it of online catalogues. Describes difficulties users face when using catalogues using anecdotal and survey evidence. Discusses areas that should be considered to improve catalogues covering: location and directions, physical factors, operation, user instruction, coverage, layout and clarity, stock information, subject access, accuracy and adequacy, quality, outputs, and the intelligent catalogue. Cataloguers should improve communication with users

- Abstract
- A survey of catalogue use in 1993 at Utrecht University in the Netherlands showed considerable dissatisfaction with the online catalogue's subject search facilities. Of those who used subject searching 64% preferred subject headings against only 2% who chose classification schedules. Library users make little use of the existing facilities for assistance and leaflets which are available in the library. It has, therefore, been decided to provide a programme of instruction in library use and to move towards a unified system of subject access to the library's catalogue

- Abstract
- Suggests that many problems encountered by students when using online cataloguers arise from a basic unfamiliarity with record structure and its impact on electronic searching. To illustrate the contention that catalogue instruction should begin with an examination and discussion of MARC records, describes a MARC based presentation delivered during freshman orientation at St. Olaf College, Minnesota. Also includes the sample MARC record and script followed by the instructional librarian
