Abstract

ABSTRACT With the availability of so many electronic databases in today's libraries, patrons often have difficulty selecting the most appropriate resource. An examination of CD-ROM usage at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale shows that many students do not always select the best database for their research needs. This article identifies database selection and searching problems. It also suggests introductory workshops on electronic library resources to assist students in making better choices from the available CD-ROM databases.
