An In-House Training Program For Online Searchers, Carol Tenopir May 1982

An In-House Training Program For Online Searchers, Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

At the University of Hawaii, Manoa we have developed a series of courses to provide a complete training program for our present and potential online searchers as well as introductory sessions for all interested library staff members. Because of our relative isolation, lack of travel funds, and desire for a consistent continuing education program, training for all of our staff is an important inhouse function. A series of formal classes, together with additional practice for searchers, ensures an informed staff and skillful searchers. This article will outline the courses we have developed and discuss our ongoing plans.

The medium of videotape is well suited for introductory presentations about online searching. Several library schools and vendors have created videotaped instructions for novice searchers, but some libraries have now begun to use the medium to produce introductions aimed at potential patrons of their online search services. Reports of several of these presentations are examined in this paper. The library at the University of Hawaii at Manoa produced several videotapes to introduce online search services to their patrons. The problems encountered, uses and potential of these productions are discussed.
