The objective was to gain insights from users into factors that help achieve effective use of online services. This pamphlet summarises results provided by an independent research agency which examined usage logs for a set of institutions with similar demographic profiles, and found that institutes using certain approaches or 'best practices' saw higher usage. These best practices can be applied to promote effective use of any electronic resource. In addition to presenting these best practices, this pamphlet provides references to articles, books, and online information addressing in-depth the topic of how to make the best use of digital resources.

The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)(current edition is AACR II) are designed for use in the construction of catalogues and other lists in general libraries of all sizes. The rules cover the description of, and the provision of access points for, all library materials commonly collected at the present time. Part I deals with the provision of information describing the item being catalogued, and Part II deals with the determination and establishment of headings (access points) under which the descriptive information is to be presented to catalogue users, and with the making of references to those headings. In both parts the rules proceed from the general to the specific. AACR is co-published by the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (UK).
