    • To address common problems encountered in user-system interactions.
    • To improve the understanding and application of computerized documentation systems.

    Main Methods:

    • The training course was developed based on practical user-system problems identified by IMA.
    • Discussions focused on understanding computerized documentation systems and their capabilities.
    • The role of the computer and its limitations were critically examined.
    • The user-search analyst interface was a key area of focus, emphasizing clarity of user queries and information needs.

    Main Results:

    • Participants gained a clearer understanding of computerized documentation systems.
    • Users developed more realistic expectations regarding computer capabilities.
    • The importance of effective communication at the user-analyst interface was reinforced.
    • Practical search examples facilitated concrete learning.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective training requires addressing user misconceptions about computer capabilities.
    • Clear communication and understanding of information needs are crucial for successful information retrieval.
    • Training programs should be grounded in real-world user-system challenges.
