Peer reviewedWallace, Patricia M. – RQ, 1993
Describes a study that electronically monitored 11 public access terminals at the University of Colorado libraries to produce transaction logs that were used to gather statistics and analyze users' behavior when searching online catalogs. Implications for search instruction and systems design are suggested. (Contains 13 references.) (LRW)

Peer reviewedPeters, Thomas A.; Kurth, Martin – Information Technology and Libraries, 1991
Describes an analysis of transaction logs of the online catalog at the University of Missouri-Kansas City that examined patron use of both controlled and uncontrolled vocabulary subject access during the same search session. Hypotheses tested are discussed, and recommendations are made for library instruction and online catalog design. (six…

PDF pending restorationSchwartz, Candy; Hines, Rich – 1989
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Libraries intend to provide a gateway from the campus-wide telecommunications network into the electronic, printed, and human resources offered by the library systems. The design of such a gateway requires an understanding of both current and potential library users, the needs of those users, their…

Application of an Expert System to Collection Development: Donation Processing in a Special Library.
Peer reviewedDeBrower, Amy M.; Jones, DeAnna T. – Library Software Review, 1991
Describes a project at the library of the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) at Johns Hopkins University that developed an expert system to conserve professional staff time and reduce processing costs by allowing gifts, or donations, to be processed by support staff. Decision-making factors are explained, and performance statistics are discussed.…
