Abstract
Increasing emphasis on information skills in primary and secondary schools is generating new kinds of database use arising from tuition in the search process. These small‐scale curriculum databases are not at present linked to pervasive resource centre databases and there are hardware and software compatibility problems in securing such links. The schools market has been recognised by software houses, which have responded with easier user interfaces and new integrated packages, but those choosing software for schools often lack specialist advice. The unprecedented levels of expertise in information handling now achieved by growing numbers of children will equip them to become demanding end‐users of information services.
