The Effectiveness of a Projected Computerized Presentation in Teaching Online Library Catalog Searching.

Buchanan, Nancy L.; And Others

College and Research Libraries, v53 n4 p307-18 Jul 1992

A computerized presentation explaining how to use the library online catalog (NOTIS) was produced at Texas A&M University. A study using students in first-year composition courses verified that students who viewed the presentation were able to use the online catalog more effectively than those who did not, especially for subject searching.
