Sewell, Edward H., Jr.; Moore, Roy L. – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1980
College students read, listened to, or viewed a presentation about the library. Some presentations included cartoons. Results suggest that the printed text without cartoons is just as effective as cartoons or audiovisual presentations. If enjoyment is a factor, cartoons or audiovisual presentations should be considered. (Author/JEG)
