Gross, Melissa

School Library Media Quarterly, v25 n3 p157-59,162-66 Spr 1997

Discussion of information-seeking behavior focuses on a study of the imposed query, as opposed to self-generated queries, in an elementary school library media center in order to quantify its presence, to record characteristics of the users that carry them, and to identify the persons imposing them. The coding sheet is appended. Contains one table and five figures. (Author/LRW)
