Dear Readers:

In a controlled study, students without prior training or experience in
cataloging Internet resources improved their test scores from an average 51%
to 86% as a result of taking the OCLC Institute's Online Library Learning
course, "Cataloging Internet Resources Using MARC 21 and AACR2," according
to preliminary findings by Robert Ellett.   A control group with previous
experience cataloging Internet resources, but who did not take the
e-learning course, scored 71% on the same test.

For a description of the study and additional preliminary findings, please
see http://www.oclc.org/institute/.
