These topics are: 1. Instruction in the use of online public access catalogs; 2. Computer-assisted instruction in library use; 3. End-user searching of computerized biblio­ graphic databases; 4. Computer-mediated online searching; 5. Human-computer interaction. If you are involved with or interested in integrat­ ing computers into bibliographic instruction, we would like to hear from you. The Committee hopes to prepare for distribution a list or directory of li­ brarian contacts in computer concerns relating to bibliographic instruction. The list will be available through L O E X . The information provided will also help us plan future committee studies and pro­ gramming activities. Please send the following information to: Joann H. Lee, Chair, ACRL/BIS Computer Concerns Committee, Lake Forest College Library, Lake Forest, IL 60045, by March 20, 1984. 1. Your name, institutional mailing address, and phone number. 2. Your ALA division memberships in section, discussion groups, committees, etc. 3. A brief description of the areas of interest or activity you are: a. presently engaged in (e.g ., “provide workshops for end-user searching to chemistry graduate students”); b. planning to in­ corporate into your bibliographic instruction pro­ gram (e.g., “working on CAI module for Apple II micro-computer to teach the use of periodical in­ dexes”); c. interested in (e.g., “would like to hear more about using computers to teach patrons to use online catalogs”). 4. A dditional com puter concerns not listed above. 5. Personal expertise relating to the above issues. 6. Publications relating to your project (any journal articles or other publications you have written concerning your work). Thank you for your cooperation. The results of this call for information will be made available as soon as possible. The preliminary draft of the directory was dis­ tributed before Midwinter Conference.
