Since 1970, Indiana University School of Medicine Library (IUSML) has traditionally been a high volume online searching institution. The library recently implemented an end user searching program which includes MEDLINE on CD-ROM. The effect of CD-ROM on online end user and mediated searching is discussed. Comparative statistics are provided by category of search service. CD-ROM has had a dramatic lowering effect on online end user searching and has had little effect on mediated searching. IUSML's experience with CD-ROM technology has been a positive one. Trained end users have become IUSML's greatest asset.
自1970年以来，印第安纳大学医学院图书馆（IUSML）一直是一个大量进行在线检索的机构。该图书馆最近实施了一项终端用户检索计划，其中包括光盘版医学期刊数据库（MEDLINE）。本文讨论了光盘版对在线终端用户检索和中介检索的影响。按检索服务类别提供了比较统计数据。光盘版对在线终端用户检索产生了显著的降低作用，而对中介检索影响不大。IUSML在光盘技术方面的经验是积极的。经过培训的终端用户已成为IUSML最宝贵的财富。
