    Abstract
    Proposes a reference interview strategy that will allow the reference librarian to: efficiently assess the information need of undergraduates undertaking a social science assignment, label the information need, and assign the most appropriate online search strategy to satisfy this need

    Abstract
    When assisting undergraduate students in accessing materials, academic librarians must balance the task of conducting reference interviews with instructing students on how to use databases (OPACs, CD-ROM and online databases). Presents a method for connecting these tasks via the construction of a search strategy which is wholly dependent on the user's information needs. Using this method, the librarian assesses and explicitly labels the student's information need (using a diagnostoc tool based on Kuhlthau's and Taylor's concept of 'focus'), then assigns the most appropriate online search strategy for the satisfaction of this need
