Abstract

Considers the nature of the imposed query, that is the information query posed by users who are not seeking information to satisfy their own needs but those of another. Studies the various stages of user searching involved in the imposed query and offers a model of the imposed query focusing on its special characteristics and identifying several questions concerning the impact of the imposed query on current research and current reference practice

Abstract

Evaluations is a process that depends on the reappraisal of its various methodologies to remain responsive to new techniques, new services, and new insights in the field. Explores the possible impact of a new model of information seeking behaviour, the imposed query, on current approaches to library service and system evaluation. The areas considered are: reference service evaluation; user studies; output measures; and relevance; as an evaluation tool. Each section explores the implications of the imposed query model for research and practice and offers suggestions for incorporating the imposed query into these evaluation efforts: It is believed that inclusion of the imposed query in current methodology will broaden understanding of the user and the role that information organizations play in users' information seeking behaviour
