Abstract
This paper examines the impact of CD-ROM databases on end-user searching in libraries. It reviews several studies dealing with end-user response to CD-ROM database products and compares them with results of interviews with patrons and librarians in a local public library. It examines the importance of various factors in the successful use of these products and suggests ways in which CD-ROM software developers and libraries can increase the value of CD-ROM databases for end-user searching.
