Academic Libraries Evaluation Methods Fees Financial Support Higher Education Individual Instruction Instructional Materials Library Services Library Surveys Online Searching Online Systems Online Vendors Problems Users (Information) A national survey of 70 academic libraries was conducted in Fall 1985 to gain a greater understanding of how end-user search services are used, and to assist in their design and implementation. A 69% response rate was achieved. The objectives of the investigation were to gather information on the following factors: (1) types and formats of end-user systems currently operational among the academic libraries surveyed; (2) modes of instruction and types of instructional materials employed; (3) clientele served; (4) evaluation methods and techniques; (5) funding sources; (6) perceived advantages of offering the services; (7) problems and obstacles to overcome; and (8) important variables to consider before offering a service. Study results indicate that libraries provide access to a wide range of users, a variety of systems, and a varied pattern of instructional materials, and that, as new systems emerge, libraries are substituting one system for another, rather than abandoning the practice of offering end-user searching to their patrons. Statistical results are presented in 10 tables, and notes and a listing of libraries surveyed are provided. (KM) |
