Instructional Materials in Print: On Paper or the World Wide Web

Abstract

Instructional materials in print, whether on paper or on the World Wide Web, are important tools that assist users of library resources in finding the information they need. As library resources are increasingly becoming available in electronic forms and many people are using them from home or office, the need for instructional material is burgeoning. Users need guidance in selecting appropriate resources, designing effective search strategies, and analyzing and improving search results. Remote users face the additional challenge of connecting to electronic resources via disparate hardware and networks.
