Blaise‐Web goes to school: a study of a secondary school’s use of Blaise‐Web
View through CrossRef
Reports the results of a trial study of one secondary school’s use of Blaise‐Web as a method of obtaining resources for staff and senior students aged 16‐18. During the six month trial over 60 items were found and ordered from the British Library’s Document Supply Centre using Blaise‐Web, of which 80 per cent arrived in school within seven days. User satisfaction was extremely high with over 86 per cent of the items borrowed judged to be useful for students and teachers. Although the trial was very successful, the full cost of continuing access to Blaise‐Web after trial completion was beyond the finances of the school. In order to continue what has become a very popular service the school now searches the DSC catalogue via OPAC 97 and uses postal order forms.
