Online Information Services for Secondary School Students: A Current Assessment. ERIC Digest.
Minor, Barbara B.
This digest begins with a brief discussion of the current status of the relatively recent phenomenon of online searching in schools. The advantages and disadvantages of online access in this context are then outlined, and some suggestions are offered for school library media specialists who wish to initiate online information retrieval for their students. A brief review of studies of the impact of online services on student behavior and a future scenario for online services in school settings conclude the digest. (7 references) (CGD)
