We conducted a study of user queries to the National Library of Medicine Web site over a three month period. Our purpose was to study the nature and scope of these queries in order to understand how to improve users' access to the information they are seeking on our site. The results show that the queries are primarily medical in content (94%), with only a small percentage (5.5%) relating to library services, and with a very small percentage (.5%) not being medically relevant at all. We characterize the data set, and conclude with a discussion of our plans to develop a UMLS-based terminology server to assist NLM Web users.
我们对国家医学图书馆网站三个月期间的用户查询进行了一项研究。我们的目的是研究这些查询的性质和范围,以便了解如何改善用户在我们网站上获取他们所寻求信息的途径。结果表明,查询内容主要是医学方面的(94%),只有一小部分(5.5%)与图书馆服务相关,还有极小一部分(0.5%)与医学完全无关。我们对数据集进行了描述,并在结尾讨论了我们开发基于统一医学语言系统(UMLS)的术语服务器以协助国家医学图书馆网站用户的计划。
