Source

Annals of library science and documentation. 43(1996) no.2, S.76-80

Year

Abstract

Discusses the importance of catalogue use studies, particularly in the context of database development for networking. A literature review reveals that most of the studies are conducted in western countries which may be grouped in 3 categories: user studies; studies relating to search failures; and experiments with methodology. Stresses the need for more such studies in the context of libraries in India, particularly in the view of library network development in the country
