Abstract
AbstractThe rapid growth of science and technical information resources in recent years has made college-level and professional training in computer-assisted bibliographic searching a necessity. A federally-funded project in training engineering students for on-line searching resulted in the development of instructional materials and an evaluation of training results over a two-year period. Attitudinal measures of training and control group students showed positive and significant gains for the treatment group in their attitudes toward the effectiveness of on-line searches and the number of citations yielded. Cost-effectiveness comparisons of on-line versus manual searches demonstrated significantly lower costs and greater productivity for on-line methods.
