- Abstract
- A review of studies related to the information needs and communication behaviour of scientists which aims to explore the factors that influence their needs and methods of problem solving. Particular work environments affect needs. Information seeking and basic requirements are comprehensiveness, precision and availability. convenience of information access has a direct effect on the efficiency of a scientist's research but a lack of confidence in applying the solutions to information problems which are employed by librarians limits scientists to the more traditional ways of finding information in libraries. An awareness of this should lead librarians to improve collections and user services for the benefit of scientists and thus win their trust
