This inspiring book addresses a topic that is far too often ignored
or disregarded by sci-tech librarians: Exactly how do scientists
and engineers really discover, select, and use the countless
information and communications resources available to them when
conducting research? The answer to this question should be a major
influence on the way information specialists develop information
systems in their libraries. Unfortunately, many librarians are not
as familiar with the work, information needs, and communicating
behavior of the research worker. Information Seeking and
Communications Behavior of Scientists and Engineers looks at this
question from several perspectives to give an overall view of how
to best serve the needs of the scientific community.This book is an
encouragement and a challenge to sci-tech librarians to make an
ever greater effort to understand the work of their users, the
differing information channels and sources they employ, and thus
tailor the library's systems and services to best support their
information-seeking behavior.
