This document is a self-paced training packet developed for a pilot project at the University of Houston-University Park to teach art faculty members to do their own online searching. The training begins with general topics such as the kinds of searches that can be done most effectively online, the selection of appropriate databases to search, and the use of documentation. Basic search concepts such as database structure, Boolean operators, and search strategy formulation are also covered. Exercises give the opportunity for hands-on practice searching DIALOG databases. Separate handouts provided include an introduction to the pilot project; a guide to procedures for searching architecture and art reports online; summaries of DIALOG commands and Boolean operators; a search strategy worksheet, and an evaluation form.
