contents Teaching Online Bibliographic Searching to High School Students. Craver, Kathleen W. High School Seniors Information Retrieval Introductory Courses Library Instruction Library Services Online Systems Reference Services School Libraries Search Strategies Secondary Education Student Evaluation This paper describes how four classes of high school students were introduced over a 2-year period to the concepts and terminology of online bibliographic searching, instructed to formulate their own search strategies, and received the opportunity to observe their strategies executed by a skilled searcher on various selected databases. It also examines and evaluates the methods employed and the students' achievement level responses to the course. Sixty-seven college bound seniors with no prior knowledge or experience with online subject searching participated in the course. The primary purpose of the course was to introduce students to a library service which would enable them to perform research more expeditiously and provide them with relevant information for research projects. A series of different methods were employed to teach online searching, including a printed manual, a lecture, a case study, an audiovisual demonstration, and a small group assignment which culminated with observations of actual online searches. It is concluded from the results of the course that not only can high school students benefit from such a course, but also that they can be taught to form their own information searches in the future.
