COLUG: Chicago Online Users Introductory Guide.
Moore, Alexandra L., Ed.; Pyrce, Sharon R., Ed.
Intended to serve as an introduction to online searching in the Chicago area, the guide answers these basic questions for those considering going online for the first time: what is online searching, starting out online, local training for online searching, how to choose a terminal, 1200 baud equipment selection, how to prepare for and evaluate a search, patent searching, and how to choose database guides and thesauri. Included are a guide to the literature; the results of a survey of Chicago online users, detailing their experiences and recommendations on training, equipment, and search aids; and a directory of experienced searchers to contact locally for help.
