Abstract	ERIC and PsycLit are two of the most frequently searched CD-ROM databases at the Indiana University-Bloomington campus. Training has been developed to help students use these popular resources. This includes classroom presentations on ERIC in the Education Department and training workshops in the library for ERIC and PsycLit users. In 1990 a survey was designed and administered to a sample of end users of each database to determine how training affected end-user satisfaction with search results. Undergraduate students completed 146 surveys and graduate students completed 111. The basic finding was that trained users (67.7%) expressed more satisfaction with search results than did untrained and self-taught users (47.4%). User satisfaction was generally greater at the Education Library than at the Reference Library, probably because all undergraduate education majors are required to receive ERIC training in the classroom. Four figures and one table present study findings. (SLD)
