The electronic library is beginning to arrive! Today, information previously available only in hard copy form at the library can now be accessed at your home, office or school computer. This trend toward electronic libraries is made possible by the arrival of cheaper, faster computers. Speed advances coupled with usage cost reductions are making it time efficient and affordable for researchers to use library collections across the nation via the Internet.
To learn more about accessing information via the Internet, read the January 1993, No Name Newsletter issue or borrow The Whole Internet from the Siegesmund Engineering Library in the A. A. Potter Engineering Center. To discover how to use the Purdue Library system electronically, attend the short course described below.
Professor Katherine Markee, Data Bases Librarian and Charlotte Erdmann, Assistant Engineering Librarian, from the Libraries Faculty will give a workshop focused on electronic information sources available on THOR, EIS, the library's Gopher system, as well as external literature sources. This short course will provide tips and techniques to increase users' searching efficiency in a time saver environment. Writing journal articles or doing the literature review for your thesis will be easier. Sample searches will be demonstrated and attendees may bring requests to be input to the computer.
