Clague, P.
The investigation of the performance, economics, and acceptability to users of the selective dissemination of information (SDI) computer system that supported the International Information Service in Physics, Electrotechnology, Computers, and Control (INSPEC) during its initial testing phase is described. The initial design of the study, involving the setting up of regular weekly SDI service to some 600 users, is presented and is followed by evaluative information on the system's strengths and limitations. Extensive user and system performance data are included. (DGC)
