- Online Data Base Education Responsibility: Institutional User. Bolef, Doris Fisher, Janet S. Costs Databases Educational Needs History Librarians Medical Libraries Online Systems Search Strategies Training Training Objectives Problems which frustrate and hinder training in data base use for personnel employed in biomedical libraries include the ever increasing number of data bases which continue to be introduced, search techniques that differ from vendor to vendor and data base to data base, and differing formats of data bases and their training manuals. Training sessions and institutes are offered by commercial vendors, library and other professional associations, and library schools. The training process should be divided into the mechanical details of interacting with the computer, and knowledge of the subject area and its terminology to allow for informed interaction. Training should also be geared to the varied backgrounds and experiences of trainees; a clearinghouse for training information should be established; and surveys of costs and evaluations of training programs should be undertaken.
