✦ Synopsis

The use of microcomputers to access electronic databases has made its appearance in the educational system. This powerful and sophisticated technology has filtered down from the university realm and is now being successfully utilized by secondary level students. Two exploratory studies were undertaken to determine how well elementary students could use this technology. Twenty-six gifted and talented students in grades 2-6 used an online encyclopedia to find information for use in written reports. All were successful, with the younger students comparing favorably with the older students as regards system use and information retrieval. A further study comparing efficiency and effectiveness of two additional groups of third/ fourth and sixth graders using a full-text electronic encyclopedia mounted on CD-ROM showed the older students to be somewhat more successful with this more complex technology.
