This document is a self-paced training packet developed for a pilot project at the University of Houston-University Park to teach architecture faculty members to do their own online searching. The training begins with general topics such as the kinds of searches that can be done most effectively online; the selection of appropriate databases to search, and the use of documentation. Basic search concepts such as database structure, Boolean operators, and search strategy formulation are also covered. Exercises give the opportunity for hands-on practice searching DIALOG databases and the Avery Index of Architectural Periodicals on RLIN (Research Libraries Information Network). Separate handouts provided include an introduction to the pilot project; a description of the policies and procedures for searching architecture and art reports online; guides to photocopy policies and services and interlibrary loan services; a search strategy worksheet; summaries of searchable indexes, Boolean operators, and online commands; and an evaluation form.
