Abstract

Indiana University School of Medicine Library (IUSML) has traditionally been a high volume searching institution. The dramatic effect of CD-ROM on online end-user searching and the negligible effect on mediated searching was reported in an earlier study. This follow-up study reveals that the proportion of mediated searching has been drastically reduced from 94% in 1986/87 to 39% as of November 1989. Mediated searches are declining in absolute numbers as well. End-user searching, by contrast, has increased by 54% percent over the previous year. A related trend is the increased use of CD-ROM by the librarian as an alternative to mediated online searching. These trends are expected to continue as IUSML expands its CD-ROM operation to include other databases. As mediated searching declines, the librarian's role will increasingly include end-user training.

摘要

印第安纳大学医学院图书馆（IUSML）传统上一直是一个搜索量很大的机构。早期的一项研究报告了光盘对在线终端用户搜索的显著影响以及对中介搜索的可忽略不计的影响。这项后续研究表明，中介搜索的比例已从1986/87年的94%大幅降至截至1989年11月的39%。中介搜索的绝对数量也在下降。相比之下，终端用户搜索比上一年增加了54%。一个相关的趋势是图书馆员更多地使用光盘作为中介在线搜索的替代方式。随着IUSML扩大其光盘业务以纳入其他数据库，这些趋势预计将持续下去。随着中介搜索的减少，图书馆员的角色将越来越多地包括终端用户培训。
