The Getty End-User Online Searching Project in the Humanities: Report No. 6: Overview and Conclusions.

Bates, Marcia J.

College & Research Libraries, v57 n6 p514-23 Nov 1996

The Getty Information Institute conducted a two-year study of online searching by 27 humanities scholars using DIALOG. Discusses results and recommends that library services: provide interdisciplinary information for humanities scholars; recognize that online searching in humanities may be harder than in sciences; expect wide preferences for database searching arrangements; and acquire reference materials sensitive to humanities scholars.
