Abstract

Although most college faculty are aware of the problems that students encounter when conduct ing research using the Internet, fewer recognize why their students lack success when using the electronic databases and indexes to which the institution's library subscribes. In this article, I point to teachers' assump tions about their students' computer literacy, as well as to the students' lack of hands-on experience in an actual library, as potential sources of the problem. I provide practical, detailed suggestions, which are use ful across disciplines, for overcoming these obstacles.
