The University Library expanded its educational services to the campus community in January 1995 with the introduction of the first series of electronic library workshops. While this is only one component of the library's educational programs, it is growing in size and popularity. Faculty members made up the largest number, with the second largest group being staff. Sessions were scheduled in the early evening to attract more students, and students are provided with instruction through class-related presentations by the library. It has been specially designed and includes a dozen networked microcomputers and instructor's workstation.
Registration is recommended.

This session is intended for those who are new to computerized information systems and want to establish an understanding of the concepts employed when searching them. The workshop covers considerations in choosing an index, search strategies that can help in refining searches and obtaining articles in the library or through Interlibrary Loan. The interface can be installed on Windows-based personal computers with a direct connection to the campus backbone.
