ABSTRACT

Technology has made it possible for information to be produced, stored, and disseminated in a variety of ways. Today serials are available in a variety of formats. Thousands of journals are published internationally in print and an increasing number, in a variety of subject areas, by electronic means. A burgeoning number of students and faculty members in all disciplines who are not information literate seek after journal articles and, in some cases, with limited success. They are simply ignorant of the many ways available to them to access these articles and do their evaluation in the minimum of time.
