This volume contains a highly comprehensive collection of papers on the whole range of issues and techniques in preparing people to be online searchers. Beginning with a review of the origins and development of online searching and online searcher traits, the reader is guided through assessments of training methods, training aids and courses, followed by detailed guidance on searching techniques. The important theme of end-user training is covered in a separate section of the book, as are the training implications of important individual databases.
 
The volume concludes with a view of the future development of online searching and its associated training requirements. Training and education for online is a sourcebook on much of the expertise in online searching accumulated during the period of its rapid development.
