- Computer-based Interactive Literature Searching for CSU-Chico Chemistry Students. Cooke, Ron C. And Others Chemistry Computer Literacy Computer Networks Computer Peripherals Databases Higher Education Individualized Instruction Instructional Materials Microcomputers Online Searching Pacing Science Instruction Search Strategies Teaching Guides Telecommunications Users (Information) The intent of this instructional manual, which is aimed at exploring the literature of a discipline and presented in a self-paced, course segment format applicable to any course content, is to enable college students to conduct computer-based interactive searches through multiple databases. The manual is divided into 10 chapters: (1) Introduction, which presents a rationale for teaching online searching skills to chemistry students; (2) Introducing Students to Database Searching, which begins by noting that the process of interactive searching involves practice on the use of a computer, modem, software, and telecommunications networks, and helps teach both organization, logic, and in-depth understanding of the subject, and competent, efficient use of the library; (3) Pros and Cons of Course Segment Approach; (4) Getting Started, which covers computer workstations; (5) The Data Base Vendor; (6) Special Notes, which addresses how to overcome a lack of journals at the library and set up security on the network; (7) Reference Material, which suggests five additional sources of information for students; (8) Weekly Procedures and Lessons, which contains 8 lessons over a 10-week period; (9) Online Searching Basics, which includes truncation, codes, order, and the map command; and (10) Miscellaneous, which covers Dialog, Datalog Plus, and Ring System Searching. A glossary of terms and an index are also provided. (ALF)
