University Faculty Use of Computerized Databases: An Assessment of Needs and Resources.
Borgman, Christine L.; And Others
Online Review, v9 n4 p307-32 Aug 1985
Results of survey indicate that: academic faculty are unaware of range of databases available; few recognize need for databases in research; most delegate searching to librarian or assistant, rather than perform searching themselves; and 39 database guides identified tended to be descriptive rather than evaluative. A comparison of the guides is appended. (24 references) (EJS)
