Hovde, Karen Databases Error Correction Librarians Library Instruction Online Searching Optical Data Disks Search Strategies Subject Index Terms Teaching Methods Proposes a new technique for teaching search strategies on CD-ROM databases, using common novice errors to illustrate basic search techniques.
