- Abstract
- Reports the results of an investigation which used content analysis to examine the information needs and uses literature published from 1990-1994. Analyses measured the degree of interdisciplinarity evident in references cited, determined whether this literature was concerned with users' cognitive processes and with systems' design and use, and identified research methods used. Secondary analyses included journal type, author type, article type, whether the literature was grounded in theory, and user groups considered. One value of this study was the development of content analysis categories specifically applicable to the information needs and uses literature. Suggests that other areas of LIS research could be analysed according to a methods similar to that used in the study
