This report describes the grant proposals which funded an end-user instruction program for upper division and graduate students enrolled at a state university in California, and reviews the implementation and the evolution of the online instruction program originally funded by a $3,500 California State University Northridge Instructional Improvement Grant. Statistics are provided on the usage by databases searched; observations of the five principal instructor-librarians; analyses of the evaluation forms completed by students; and projections for the co-existence of the online instruction program with the increasingly popular CD-ROMs. Appendixes include: (1) the grant proposal and final reports; (2) a bibliography on online bibliographic databases; (3) a selective guide to database searching offering lower costs and simplified searching; (4) the student evaluation form; and (5) a sample flier for promoting faculty online seminars.
