Title

Library instruction and online database searching

Abstract

Online database searching was done solely by librarians 25 years ago. That changed with the advances in telecommunications, the development of faster and more powerful computers, and the improvements in user-friendly software. First CD-ROMs, then dial-in networks, and now the World Wide Web have made online database searching by the library users themselves the norm in academic libraries. Along with all these technological changes, library instruction itself has become more complex. Not only do library users need to know how to search, but they also need to learn critical thinking skills for database and keyword selection.
