- Abstract
- While consumer health libraries have proliferated in response to the changing health care environment and consumer demand, there is little documentation about the impact and value of providing consumer health information. Explores the issues of imapact and value in a retrospective study of consumers who received health information from the Delaware Academy of Medicine's Consumer Health Library during 1995. Reports results of a questionnaire survey of 270 adults that focused on whether the information influenced decisions, actions, anxiety levels, and patient provider communication and addressed the value of such library service in terms of likelihood of repeat use, recommendation to others, and willingness to pay. Results, based on a return rate of 86,7%, identified effects of library supplied consumer health information that extend beyond the anticipated acquisition of knowledge to specific actions and effects on anxiety

- Abstract
- Telephone reference service at the California Univ. at San Diego Central Library hab become problematic in recent years due to increased volume of patron demand, both in person and on the telephone. In order to meet the demand the library established a separate information desk service which became the first line of service for incoming telephone callers. Reports a survey conducted in 1991 by information and reference desk staff to see how well this arrangement was meeting the needs of primary patrons. Details steps taken to correct shortcomings

- Abstract
- The Royal Institute of Technology (RIMT) Libraries developed and made available a HyperCard-based directional information system in the first semester of 1992. This was part of a strategy to relieve pressure on a very busy service point, the information desk. Discusses the features of the system and evaluates its impact upon the demand for information at the service point. While popular with students as a source of information, Qjumper has not stemmed the increasing demand placed upon the information desk

- Abstract
- Reports research, conducted on the UTLink online catalogue at Toronto University Library, aimed at examining the provision of library staff assistance to users of OPACs. The study identified a significant change in the demand for service when there was a change from offering traditional 'from the desk' help to 'point of use' help at the OPAC terminals. The kind of help most given by librarians was procedural: a frequent problem being how to deal with information overload. Results suggest that while it is important to continue to improve the technology there remains an ongoing need for human support. Research into human help is supportive of library practice, which values the provision of high quality services to users who are not yet self sufficient on OPACs

- Abstract
- The Brandeis model of reference service delivery, which consists of a student-staffed information desk and a professional reseaarch consultation service, attemps to preserve the quality of the reference encounter at a time of dramatically increased demand. In this article, Herman describes a multifaceted evaluation of the model, which has neen in place since 1990. A retreat was held to redefine the model's ideals, an unabstrusive studa was performed to measure the effectiveness of the information desk, and a focus group project was used to gauge patron response. The overall conclusion of the study is that the model provides a high-quality service that has been enthusiastically received, but that improvements need to be made in the referral of patrons from the information desk to the librarian

- Abstract
- With the establishment of the WWW as a standard information tool in academic libraries, there is a greater demand for research assistance than ever before. Reference questions involve more teaching time given the number of interfaces clients confront as they navigate the book catalogue, electronic databases, and the WWW. Librarians require expert knowledge of multiple search strategies as well as the ability to teach others how to apply them effectively. Outlines hoe the WWW can function as a desktop publishing system, revitalize subject pathfinders and 'how to' guides, and promote the invention of interactive library tutorials. A Web site presenting design ideas accompanies this article at: http://stauffer.queensu.ca/inforef/tutorials/cla/clahome.htm

- Abstract
- Die Bedeutung innovativer Lernformen an deutschen Hochschulen nimmt in erheblichem Maße zu. Laut einer Studie des Instituts für Medien- und Kompetenzforschung, an der sich im vergangenen Jahr 52 Hochschul- und E-Learning-Experten aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz beteiligt haben, kommen Informations- und Kommunikationstechniken in der Hochschullehre vermehrt zum Einsatz: neben traditionellen Präsenzveranstaltungen spielen Internet-Materialien, virtuelle Seminare, Televorlesungen bis hin zum "Learning on demand" eine immer wichtigere Rolle. Universitäts- und Fachhochschulbibliotheken können diese Entwicklung nutzen, um sich auch auf diesem Gebiet als moderne und dienstleistungsorientierte Serviceeinrichtungen ihrer Hochschulen zu profilieren. Die Vorteile von E-Learning liegen klar auf der Hand und können insbesondere für die Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz sinnvoll genutzt werden.

- Abstract
- The "teaching librarian" or "librarian as teacher" is a professional role that has been discussed in the literature of library and information science in recent decades, particularly in relation to bibliographic instruction and information literacy development. This paper reports on a small-scale research project, undertaken in 2002, that investigated the demand for library professionals with knowledge of or skills in instructional techniques and strategies. The project was based on an extensive literature review, plus content analysis of library and information science job advertisements on the international LIBJOBS listserv. The literature review has been updated for this BOBCATSSS paper, as have aspects of the content analysis, in order to provide delegates with more recent information. The idea of a teaching role for librarians is far from new. Michael Lorenzen (2002) has traced academic library-based instruction as far back as the seventeenth century when German academic libraries provided instructional programmes for library users. In academic and school libraries in the nineteenth century it usually took the form of "library orientation" - making sure that students and faculty knew how to find the books and other material for their courses. In the United States, some American university librarians were lecturing to students as early as the 1880s (Lorenzen, 2002). In nineteenth and early twentieth century public libraries, library instruction often took the form of literature promotion or reading promotion activities for children and young people, and even of "lessons" on how to look after books, right down to the need for washing hands before handling books. The introduction of card catalogues and classification systems such as the Dewey Decimal Classification resulted in a need for user education in all kinds of libraries, with sessions based on topics such as "The card catalogue: The key to the library" and "How to find a book on the shelves". The introduction of automated catalogues from the 1960s, and later, databases on CD-ROMs, online information services for end users, and the Internet, have increased the need and demand for formal and informal user education, regardless of the type and size of library. Indeed, there is no doubt that interest in library-based instruction has increased in recent decades: on the basis of an analysis of the literature related to the instructional role of librarians, Edwards (1994) noted that "during the past quarter century, interest and concern for library instruction has grown dramatically", while Marcum said in 2002 that "Over the past decade ... information literacy has emerged as a central purpose for librarians, particularly academic librarians".

- Abstract
- We have attempted to study the effects of CD-ROM searching on the reference and information services in a university library. The study is based on the statistics collected at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) Library, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The data collected before and after the introduction of the CD-ROM service is compared to analyse the CD-ROM impact on various reference services, like interlibrary loan, online searching, reference questions, staff requirement and development

- Abstract
- Reports the findings of an experiment designed to compare on-line data bases and equivalent printed versions in 1 area of reference services, the answering of ready reference questions. 68 reference librarians searched for answers to the same set of 12 questions using either print or on-line sources. Details of the questions are given. In the case of conceptual questions on-line proved faster than print, particularly for 2-concept questions, and the increased speed was not at the expense of accuracy. In the case of factual questions, print sources proved to be considerably faster than on-line. Suggests 2 guidelines: when bibliographic information is available in both print and on-line formats, on-line should be the tool of choice, particularly for multi-concept questions; simple factul questions can be answered more quickly using printed sources.

- Abstract
- Community networks have existed since the 1970s when Community Memory in Berkeley, Californis, installed terminals in public places for people to read and post material of all sorts on a centralised time sharing system. Community Memory was the first known community access network. Several foundations and government agencies have funded community networks, known as freenets. Discusses the freenet movement; library involvement; the Apple Library of Tomorrow and the Morino Foundation conference on community networks and how to keep in touch with community network developments

- Abstract
- Large amounts of health-related information of different types are available on the web. In addition to authoritative health information sites maintained by government health departments and healthcare institutions, there are many social media sites carrying user-contributed information. This study sought to identify the types of drug information available on consumer-contributed drug review sites when compared with authoritative drug information websites. Content analysis was performed on the information available for nine drugs on three authoritative sites (RxList, eMC, and PDRhealth) as well as three drug review sites (WebMD, RateADrug, and PatientsLikeMe). The types of information found on authoritative sites but rarely on drug review sites include pharmacology, special population considerations, contraindications, and drug interactions. Types of information found only on drug review sites include drug efficacy, drug resistance experienced by long-term users, cost of drug in relation to insurance coverage, availability of generic forms, comparison with other similar drugs and with other versions of the drug, difficulty in using the drug, and advice on coping with side effects. Drug efficacy ratings by users were found to be different across the three sites. Side effects were vividly described in context, with user assessment of severity based on discomfort and effect on their lives.

- Abstract
- The Brandeis University main library, Waltham, MA, reference service scored highly on the Wisconsin-Ohio Reference Evaluation Programme (WOREP). Reports on a site visit to Brandeis carried out in 1996 to determine how its reference library performance differs from the perfromance of the typical academic reference deparrtment in the areas covered by the WOREP data. Findings indicate that intensive use of electronic resources, a good reference collection, good architecture, administrative support and adequate time provided by the consultation model contributed to service quality

The purpose of the study is to characterize kinds of tasks and to examine how different kinds of task give rise to different kinds of information-seeking behavior on the Web. For this, a model for information-seeking behavior was used employing dimensions of information-seeking strategies (ISS), which are based on several behavioral dimensions. The analysis of strategies was based on data collected through an experiment designed to observe users' behaviors. Three tasks were assigned to 30 graduate students and data were collected using questionnaires, search logs, and interviews. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data identified 14 distinct information-seeking strategies. The analysis showed significant differences in the frequencies and patterns of ISS employed between three tasks. The results of the study are intended to facilitate the development of task-based information-seeking models and to further suggest Web information system designs that support the user's diverse tasks.
