The authors view the task of meeting information needs from the perspective of the medical diagnosis procedures. A structured approach to finding the user's needs is described, an approach which is very similar in some respects to that used by health professionals. The steps involved are: establishing a comfortable relationship with the client; determining the context in which the information is to be used, determining the client's preferences, ascertaining the client's limitations, and the evaluation of the information provided
