    Abstract
    A computerised presentation teaching method of NOTIS commands and search strategies in on-line catalogues was produced using ShowPartner F/X software. Students viewed the presentation and completed a NOTIS search exercise. A 2nd group of students from the same class completed the exercise without having viewed the presentation. A comparison of the 2 groups' exercises and transaction logs show that the group that viewed the presentation proved better at using correct NOTIS commands and formulationg effective search strategies. The greatest differences between the 2 groups were in subject searching (LCSH and keyword) and in locating specific items
