    Abstract
    Traces the history and development of cognitive research techniques in information science and surveys current research that relies on the cognitive aspect. Examines information systems that make use of the insights of cognitive research, including experimental and proposed systems. Examples include systems that are designed to make appropriate demands on user cognitive processing. Points out that cognitive research in information science has focused primarily on users of information systems and to a lesser extent on information intermediaries. Design initiatives deriving from this research have been directed toward developing information technology that can adapt to the knowledge abilities, and styles of individual users and that make efficient use of the knowledge base and cognitive process of groups of users

    Abstract
    Reports on a study which collected a sample of 846 scientific research papers published in 1992 and tests 3 hypotheses on the relationship between research collaboration and interdisciplinarity. Results showed significant differences in degrees of interdisciplinarity among different levels of collaboration and among different disciplines. Collaboration contributed significantly to the degree of interdisciplinarity in some disciplines and not in others. Uses a survey that asked authors about their form of collaboration, channels of communication and use of information. The survey provides some qualitative explanation for the bibliometrics findings. Discusses the perspective of scientist-scientist interaction, scientist-information interaction and information-information interaction

    Abstract
    Considers 4 approaches that have been idetified for studying information needs: cognitive; social; social cognition; and organizational; using a problem solving model. Identifies individual and situational variables that influence how individuals and groups experience information needs and shows how research into the information needs of users and the design of user centred information systems and services can be guided by an integrated understanding of how individual and situational variables affect normal behaviour

    Abstract
    This research investigated the ways in which different levels of knowledge about a topic can affect searching for information on that topic in a library online catalog. It was found that people with high levels of knowledge use more search expressions, including more general and nonproductive expressions, than low-knowledge users. It was also found that high-knowledge users employed more search expressions that had not been contained in their statements of information need than low-knowledge users. These differences in vocabulary use and search expression formulation may be of interest to designers of online catalogs as they attempt to increase the responsiveness of catalog systems to the needs of individual users

    Abstract
    Individual differences between users of information systems can influence search performance. In user-centered design it is important to match users with system configurations that will optimize their performance. 2 matching strategies were explored in the first experiment: the capitalization match, and the compensatory match. Findings suggest that a compensatory match is likely to be encountered more frequently in designing information systems. Having determined an optimal match between users and systems configurations, it is necessary to find ways to ensure that users are guided to the appropriate configuration. The second experiment examined user selection of system configurations, and concluded that users do not act to optimize system configuration when they select features. This result suggests that information systems must have mechanisms such as user models to direct users to optimal configurations. These experiments suggest some of the complexities and problems encountered in applying individual differences research to user-centered design of information systems
