- At Boise State University we do not conduct any special training sessions
- for ADVANCE. We do incorporate time in each library instruction session
- on using the catalog. (We currently use a directly wired laptop with a
- display panel that sits on an overhead projector. Conducting searches that
- directly relate to assignments keeps interest.) We have a couple of
- handouts: a one sheet basic searching and a more detailed two sheet.
- We tried putting the complete manual out but those walked away very quickly.
- ADVANCE is one of the more user friendly online catalogs and many people
- can figure out how to use it. Our reference staff also circulates in the
- catalog area fairly frequently to help people who are stuck.
