Peer reviewedBurton, Hilary D. – Special Libraries, 1973
A large-scale selective dissemination of information (SDI) system which is in operation at the Agricultural Research Service is described. The unique characteristic of this system is that the users develop and modify their own profiles. The implications of this user-dependent approach for information system planners are discussed. (2 references)…

PROBE, a search and retrieval program, was developed in 1970 at Indiana University to search the computer tape bases for the two ERIC publications, "Research in Education" (RIE) and "Current Index to Journals in Education" (CIJE). The ERIC tapes are received, converted, and combined at the University and implemented on the…

Peer reviewedGorman, Paul; Ash, Joan; Lavelle, Mary; Lyman, Jason; Delcambre, Lois; Maier, David; Weaver, Mathew; Bowers, Shawn – Library Trends, 2000
Describes how experts create and use "bundles"--organized, highly selective collections of information--to help solve problems and maintain situation awareness. Based on fieldwork in an intensive care unit, five examples of bundles are described that illustrate the variety of bundles in use. A summary of bundle properties is given. (AEF)

Mikhailov, A. I., Ed. – 1973
The approach taken in preparing this collection of papers was to focus upon questions of an applied nature pertaining to the studies of information needs and connected with the theory of scientific information, rather than to approach the problems of user needs in information science from a purely theoretical point of view. The nine papers…

Skelton, Barbara – 1971
The Investigation into Information Requirements of the Social Sciences (INFROSS) was initiated in 1968 because it was feared that in the absence of knowledge about information requirements of the social sciences, solutions adopted in science, based on the findings of science user studies, would be applied to the social sciences. It is now…

Robins, David – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 2000
Presents an abstract for a planned session on the need to coordinate user studies and information retrieval system design research. Topics include human-based research and system-based research; children's information use; usability and cartographic information systems; and ethnomethodology and system design. Panelists included: Nick Belkin, Dania…

Allen, Thomas J.; Gerstberger, Peter G. – 1967
The criteria employed by engineers in the selection of various technical information channels in problem-solving endeavors are investigated. The relationships of certain criteria identified in past research to such factors as frequency of channel utilization and the rate at which engineers accept or reject technical information received from…

The main findings of an investigation into the information requirements of the Social Sciences, conducted between September 1967 and December 1970, are reported. It covers the information needs of social science researchers, and of teachers in social science departments of universities. The objective of the investigation was to provide material…

Peer reviewedHayes, Robert M.; Borko, Harold – Information Processing and Management, 1983
Presents results from study of mathematical models (Cobb-Douglas model, mixture of Poissons, inverse effects of distance, weighted entropy) relating to usage of information systems, and notes papers developed during study which provide three types of analysis--literature reviews, analytical studies, and tests of models. Six references are…

McKinlay, Bruce – 1971
The purpose of the report was to examine the readability of the Occupational Information Access System (OIAS) QUEST questionnaire and the validity of independent client use of the questionnaire as an information gathering device. Readability formulas rate the QUEST questionnaire "easy" or "fairly easy" and they rank the…
