Databases Educational Resources Information Retrieval Online Systems Questionnaires Telecommunications This report describes the On-Line ERIC Project conducted jointly by the National Library of Australia and by IBM Australia Ltd. between March and May 1976. The Project involved a telecommunications network with video terminals and printers linking the National Library, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Central Library, and Macquarie University Library to an IBM computer in Canberra. Citations from two and a half years of the ERIC data base were available through the Storage and Information Retrieval System (STAIRS) software package for on-line searching for three hours per day for three days each week for three months. Users from various backgrounds responded favorably to the system's interactive searching capability as revealed in the survey results. Retrieval costs in manual, batch, and on-line processing mode were compared. An instructional package of how to use STAIRS is included in the appendix. (Author/SC)
