Document Summary
She knows that the bibliography in the z shelves would help her determine whether she has missed anything this library does not own everything but the bibliography is two floors above her and she is tired. This is enough to finish my paper, leslie says to herself as she heads to the circulation desk. In this scenario, several lessons about information seeking can be observed. Although perhaps two- thirds of adults in the united states and canada make some use of libraries in a given year, relatively few (mostly students and faculty in universities) search library collections in any degree of depth. Leslie is an atypical user in that she knows how to use a librarian and a catalog; the reluctance of even regular users of libraries to consult these resources is well documented (consider, e. g. , the commentary by borgman, 1996). For many people, accessing google on their home or work computer has reduced their use of the physical library.
