Abstract

Linda Chenoweth, Reference Librarian, West Texas A&M University.

SFX and Metalib are complex software packages, which are confusing to inexperienced users. Accurate mental models can help students develop facility in using the interrelated features of journal and article finding. Mental models can also help resolve the disparities among the native interfaces that will be encountered. This poster will demonstrate a few of the techniques and analogies that can be used to help the student researcher use the software more effectively.
