- Abstract
- Reports on a survey on the information seeking behaviour of practitioners in accounting, architecture, psychology and recreation/tourism. The aim was to improve information skills instruction programmes for students. Fewer than half of the survey respondents had discipline-specific library instruction. Practitioners identify a need for information but a low use of electronic resources. Data supports the necessity of information skills for those entering the professions. Instructions should be information centred rather than library centred. Continuing education for professionals' information finding is needed. Makes suggestions for changes in library instruction
