    Abstract
    Describes an experiment using 48 sixth-grade students to compare retrieval techniques using the print and CD-ROM versions of Compton's Encyclopedia. Four queries of defferent complexity (measured by the numer of terms present) were searched by the students after a short training session. The searches were timed and the retrieval steps and search terms were noted. The searches were no faster on the CD-ROM than the print version, but in both cases time was related directly to the number of terms involved. The students coped well with the CD-ROM interface and its several retrieval paths

    Abstract
    Die Einführung von CD-ROM Datenbanken als neue Informationstechnologie hat die Formen der Informationsgewinnung in bestimmten wissenschaftlichen Fachgebieten grundlegend geändert. Der Beitrag berichtet über Ergebnisse wissenschaftlicher Begleitforschung bei Endnutzerrecherchen in der CD-ROM-Version der Datenbank MEDLINE. Hierzu wurden drei verschiedene Erhebungen durchgeführt. Hiernach ist die überwiegende Zahl der Endnutzer (89,3%) mit dem jeweiligen Rechercheresultat zufrieden, wobei Benutzer mit geringer Rechercheerfahrung eine höhere Zufriedenheitsrate erreichen als Benutzer mit umfangreicheren Recherchekenntnissen. Die Gründe zur Nutzung von CD-ROM-Systemen resultieren voriwegend aus der klinischen Alltagsroutine oder täglichen Forschungspraxis, während vermittelte Online-Literatursuchen tendenziell häufiger im Zusammenhang mit einmaligen Ereignissen der wissenschaftlichen Aus- und Weiterbildung stehen. Die selbständige CD-ROM Literaturrecherche stellt für die befragten Ärzte und Wissenschaftler die bevorzugte Methode der Informationsgewinnung dar. Die analysierten Endnutzerrecherchen weisen allerdings Fehler und Defizite hinsichtlich einer optimalen Suchstrategie auf, die zu unbemerktn Informationsverlusten und zu Fehlbeurteilungen des wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisstandes führen

    Abstract
    Addresses the problem of how potential users of CD-ROM data bases can objectively establish which version of the same data base is best suited for a specific situation. The problem was solved by applying the retrieval effectiveness of current on-line data base search systems as a standard measurement. 5 search queries from the medical sciences were presented by experienced users of MEDLINE. Search strategies were written for both DIALOG and DATA-STAR. Search results were compared to create a recall base from documents present in both on-line searches. This recall base was then used to establish the retrieval and precision of 4 CD-ROM data bases: MEDLINE, Compact Cambrdge MEDLINE, DIALOG OnDisc, Comprehensive MEDLINE/EBSCO

    Abstract
    3 versions of 2 databases were used as examples for examining indexing, printing/downloading capabilities, and interface design in order to provide the most useful resources to the faculty, staff, and students of Penn State Harrisburg. The databases studied were ABI/Inform and PAIS available using a Z39.50 interface from the library's OPAC, FirstSearch from OCLC, and CD-ROMs from UMI and SilverPlatter

    Abstract
    Smart retrieval software can have more impact on response time than a faster CD-ROM drive. This can be shown easily now that more commerical databases are being released in several versions with practically identical content but different software. Illustrates this with 3 versions of the PAIS database, comparing the original OCSI, SPIRS software, and EBSCO software. Whereas the OCSI version took no more than a few seconds, the other 2 versions took around 10times longer, occasionally in the order of minutes. Considers how the construction of these products can account for such speed differences. However, search facilities and other features should be considered as well as speed. Offers advice for testing retrieval software

    Abstract
    Reports on the 1st Text Retrieval Conference (TREC-1) held in Rockville, MD, 4-6 Nov. 1992. The TREC experiment is being run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to allow information retrieval researchers to scale up from small collection of data to larger sized experiments. Gropus of researchers have been provided with text documents compressed on CD-ROM. They used experimental retrieval system to search the text and evaluate the results

    Abstract
    Tests the logical reasoning ability of end users of a CD-ROM index and assesses associations between different levels of this ability and aspects of retrieval performance. Users' selection of vocabulary and their selection of citations for further examination are both influenced by this ability. The designs of information systems should address the effects of logical reasoning on search behaviour. People with lower levels of logical reasoning ability may experience difficulty using systems in which user selectivity plays an important role. Other systems, such as those with ranked output, may decrease the need for users to make selections and would be easier to use for people with lower levels of logical reasoning ability

    Abstract
    Report of a study from the user's point of view, investigating the facility with which bibliographical material can be identified in a multidisciplinary field, the prospective for peace, from the University's resources. Searches (uniterm and relational) were effected using all available tools - OPACs, CD-ROM collections, online databases, manual catalogues, the Internet - both on the University's system and on national research institutions. Overall results returned a low rate of pertinence (1,86%). This is due not to lack of user search expertise but the lack of subject specific indexing coupled with using a MARC format

    Abstract
    How postings information is used for inverted file searching was investigated by comparing searches, made by postgraduate students at the Dept. of Information Studies, of the LISA database on CD-ROM with and without postings information. Performance (the number of relevant references, precision and recall) was not significantly different but searches with postings information took more time, and more sets were viewed, than in searches without postings. Postings information was used to make decisions to narrow or broaden the search; to view or print the references. The same techniques were used to amend searches whether or not postings information was available. Users decided that a search was satisfactory on the basis of the search results, and consequently many searches done without postings were still considered satisfactory. However, searchers thought that the lack of postings information had affected 90% of their searches. Differences in search performance and searching behaviour were found in participants who were shown to have different learning styles using the Witkin's Embedded Figures test and the Lancaster Short Inventory of Approaches to Learning Test. These differences were, in part, explained by the differences in behaviour indicated by their learning styles

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study to compare the efficiency of the computerized searching of LISA Plus and Currents Research in Library and Information Science (CRLIS) with manual searching of the printed version of LISA. The study focused on articles covering the library and information science profession (LIS), published in Asian library and information science periodicals. The first stage was to identify Asian LIS periodicals using the Ulrich's Plus CD-ROM database. Computerized searching involved 2 methods; straightforward creation of sets for every periodical title; and browsing of brief citations of abstracts of all articles identified as being on the library profession published in the 1993 LISA. The manual searching involved browsing section 2.0 profession for all 11 issues of the printed LISA. Examines the reasons why computeroized searches took more time and retrieved less number of items. Suggests measures whereby the efficiency of computerized searches can be increased and concludes that to ensure comprehensive recall of relevant items, a combination of manual and computerized search is indispensible
