    Abstract
    Reports a review of the literature on information seeking behaviour in fields other than information science. Fields covered were: innovation research, health communication studies; organizational decision making; and information requirements in information systems design. The review was an integrated review on the basis of what may be contributed to information science. Sets out a general model of information seeking behaviour and shows how that model may be reviewed in the light of work in other fields

    Abstract
    The 3rd version of what was previously called 'Libraries and information in Britain', replacing the original booklet produced for the IFLA 1987 conference and an expanded, updated version of the edition published by the British Library in 1992. Presents a state of the art review of the UK library and information scene, including the British Library and its directorates, school libraries, university libraries, and public libraries. Outlines the roles of professional associations, the education of library and information professionals, and the commercial information sector. Includes statistical data from the British Library directorates, the Library and Information Statistics Unit (LISU) and the Publishers Association and contains a list of current library and information science periodicals in the UK

    Abstract
    Considers teleworking in the UK from the perspective of the library and information community the effects of isolation on teleworkers' access to information. Examines the actual and potential roles of libraries, business support services, electronic networks, associations for teleworkers and unions in the provision of information for teleworkers. Concludes that associations for teleworkers and electronic networks are useful sources of information and new contacts. The potential of public libraries could be realized more fully as librarians become skilled in Internet searching. Libraries will become more attractive to teleworkers if the recommendations of the final report of the Public Library Review are implemented

    Abstract
    Reports on an empirical investigation to measure the quality of the information services that are available to the commercial and industrial sectors in Northern Ireland. Examines the quality management practices of the business information providers and evaluates the quality of information and support as perceived by the business community. Develops and tests a new general survey instrument (P-C-P), as an alternative to SERVQUAL, that hat the ability to measure the quality gap that exists between the customers' expectations of these information services and their perceptions of the actual service that is received

    Abstract
    Reports results of an investigation, undertaken at Sheffield University, Departmant of Information Studies, UK into the effects of postings information (the display on the screen of the number of references in the retrieved sets) on searching behaviour. Linked online searches were conducted, on the LISA database on CD-ROM, with and without postings information. Performance in terms of the number of relevant references, precision and recall was not significantly different whether postings information was available or not; but searches with postings information took more time and more sets were viewed than in searches without postings. Searchers thought that the lack of postings information had affected 90% of their searches. Proposes that training should place greater emphasis on the value of postings information at different stages of the search and should optimize the searching behaviour of those with different searching styles

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study, conducted by the European Society of Paediatric Research (ESPR), to determine whether the information content of structured medical abstracts is greater than abstracts with traditional format and whether the efficacy of peer review is improved by the use of structured medical abstracts. The sample studied comprised the abstracts of papers submitted for the ESPR annual meeting and each abstract was assessed by a research worker by a research worker for information content by referring to a list of criteria. The words in each abstract were counted to obtain the information density of each and the abstracts were evaluated according to whether they were in an unstructured format, a semistructured format, or a more fully structured format. Although there was no significant difference in the scientific score of the scientific information density of the different formats there was significantly more information in the fully structured format. When the abstracts were resubmitted in structured format, there was always a highly significant increase in the information content

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study to monitor information activities of selected UK public libraries and special libraries and to collect enquiry data from 7 different information services (2 public reference libraries; 2 public lending libraries; a tourist information centre; and 2 special libraries). Data was categorized according to length of answer, mode of enquiring; type of enquiry; and subject of enquiry. Results indicated that the special libraries had longer enquiries and received more by telephone, fax transmission and letter than the public libraries. Furthermore, they made most use of computerized information services. Business and commerce enquiries were most freqeuntly asked at the public reference libraries. Answering community information and children's enquiries were the common tasks of public lending libraries. Minimal overlap accured in the provision of tourist information

    Abstract
    Describes a project aimed at setting up a 1 stop scientific, technical and commerical information service for technical companies at Belasis Hall Technology Park, Cleveland, UK. The project accomplished this by: identifying the information needs of the existing and potential tenants; establishing how best to meet those needs (paying a special attention to the role of online information) and setting up a 1 year pilot project: disseminating the results of the project for replication elsewhere and making information provision an integral part of science park design; promoting information as a basis for problem solving and decision making; promoting close links with the users; determining which sources and methods of delivery are most relevant (patents, trade directories, market research reports, online searches); developing a charging policy for the service with a view to the service becoming self financing; increasing the partners' experience in resource sharing; developing a training needs analysis for both providers and users; developing performance indicators; and monitoring the service provided

    Abstract
    W.S. Cooper's utility theory was used to evaluate end user and mediated searching of online and CD-ROM databases. The searches were conducted by 510 end users, using MEDLINE. The relevance of the references and the usefulness of the documents retrieved were examnied. The study also assessed the perceived value to end users of the information retrieved. Mediated online searching cost 3 times as much as end user CD-ROM searching, but was only about twice as effective in terms of user satisfaction; user convenience should be a high priority for the information provider and mediated CD-ROM searching may be the best compromise currently available as regards cost effectiveness and successful information retrieval for end users

    Abstract
    Reports a study of undergraduate students' use of computer-based information retrieval services in relation to their cognitive and learning styles. Includes a survey of staff at Sheffield University, UK on their use of computer databases and the extend to which undergraduates are made aware of these services. Results show that undergraduate use is low and varies greatly between students of differnt faculties. Student searching behaviour was found to be basic and their performance inadequate. Significant correlation's between cognitive and learning styles and search behaviour were found. Computer-assisted learning (CAL) packages were developed and customised for 3 departments. Guidelines were drawn up based on the project's findings for introducing a computerised information sources programme into the undergraduate curriculum and preparing CAL teaching packages on information skills
