| Sumario: | In 1989, the Health Sciences Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) opened a hands-on microcomputer teaching lab. The library's Information Management Education (IME) Services had been moving away from lecturing toward more active methods of instruction. The IME librarians' continuing education in computer use had shown them that hands-on instruction increased the likelihood that they would use what they had learned. IME had already accumulated a collection of print sources for students to use when learning print indexes and abstracts. The teaching lab offered the opportunity to add hands-on instruction for automated information tools, such as online and CD-ROM computer searching, the online catalog, and personal information management software.
