- Abstract
- Workstation sign up records were used to determine use patterns for individuals searching CD-ROM databases in the Biological Sciences Library at Ohio State University between Jan 87 and Jun 91. Data were gathered for the number of database uses, interval between first and last database use, and number of academic quarters in which databases were used. More than half the individuals recorded all use within one month. Over one third recorded use on only one day. Results suggest that the library should emphasize basic point of use instruction for first time searchers and deemphasize workshops
