Tutorial for users of online library catalogue
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s library has prepared a special self-guided tutorial to help users get the best out of the library’s online catalogue.
The tutorial describes the steps needed for effective searching, how
to get the best display of search results and how to interpret what is
shown. It also explains how to to request, reserve and renew library
items.
The web-based catalogue is available at olib.rpsgb.org.uk or through
the information
centre section of the Society’s
website. The tutorial can be accessed by a link from the first page
of the catalogue.
Introduced early last year (PJ, 26 April 2003, p596), the online catalogue
contains details of more than 16,000 titles added to the library since
1991, plus selected titles published earlier. For many items the catalogue
offers a link to the full text at a relevant website.
