Information Resources on End-Users and Online Searching. A Selected ERIC Bibliography.
McLaughlin, Pamela, Comp.
The 15 articles on end-users and online searching that are annotated in this bibliography were published during 1984 and 1985 and cited in Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE) and Resources in Education (RIE). The documents and articles cover a variety of issues and perspectives including: criteria for implementation of end-user online search services in academic libraries; alternatives to the Boolean system that enable users of online bibliographic databases to obtain their required level of performance at lowest cost; the changing role of the librarian in online searching; the impact of end-user searching on library staff and users; barriers to the use of current online retrieval systems by novice users; comparisons of traditional online interviews with presearch counseling sessions for client searchers; microcomputer-based search systems; recent developments in end-user searching; results of a study evaluating 20 university-based first time users of BRS/After Dark; and situational and personal factors affecting use of a computer-based information service for 126 end-user searchers of MEDLINE.
