Faculty Relevance Criteria: Internalized User Needs.
Westbrook, Lynn
Library Trends, v50 n2 p197-206 Fall 2001
The concept of relevance remains central to library and information studies work. Five Women's Studies faculty members were interviewed concerning their immediate reactions to different resources provided in direct response to real, on-going information needs. Criteria identified by this approach went beyond topicality, currency, and other basic aspects of relevance criteria to include elements such as interdisciplinarity and theoretical perspective. (AEF)
