- Online Searching: Using the Right Connections. Holt, Constance W. Academic Libraries Database Producers Databases Higher Education Information Needs Library Services Online Searching Online Systems Position Papers Technological Advancement This conference paper addresses the abundance of information delivery choices available to academic library online searchers. Following a review of changes and choices that have developed during the past decade, the paper suggests 10 ways for the searcher to keep up to date in this fast changing field: (1) read subject-related journals, system newsletters, software/hardware reviews, and the new electronic journals; (2) set up SDIs (selective dissemination of information) to keep up to date on the latest developments; (3) attend meetings and conferences; (4) learn from colleagues; (5) plan training workshops for library staff and end users; (6) attend system and database producer training sessions; (7) consult university computer center personnel as expert advisors; (8) establish library information budgets; (9) organize quick reference filing systems; and (10) establish goals and adhere to them.
