This report provides instructional materials for a voluntary introductory workshop in the use of the Educational Resources and Information Clearinghouse (ERIC) database on CD-ROM. The workshop instruction is based on Leslie J. Brigg's Theories of Instructional Design with instructional objectives based on Robert Gagne's Learning Taxonomy. Library research requires knowledge of library reference services, integrated library systems, and methods of information retrieval. Research has showed that college students have not been given the instruction in the use of online systems necessary to locate information in their discipline. The materials provided in this report offer training in the following areas: (1) determining when the use of ERIC is appropriate; (2) performing basic searches effectively and efficiently; and (3) learning where to obtain further instruction. The materials are broken down into five learning objectives, each of which contains a list of instructional events, desired media, materials and activities, and teacher preparation. Handouts and tests are also provided for each objective. (3 references) (DB)
