Document Summary
Our survey suggests that, over the years, information needs and uses studies have progressively broadened their research orientation and research focus . Julien et al. (2011) noted this trend in their recent content analysis of the literature, while also highlighting the noticeable gap between studies produced by researchers and those coming from practice: With the publication of so many studies following world war ii, a number of comprehensive reviews soon followed: to rnudd (1959), menzel (1960), davis and. Bailey (1964), auerbach (1965), paisley (1965), north american aviation (1966; updating auerbach), and deweese (1967; an update of davis and bailey). With few exceptions (such as paisley"s, 1965 chapter on studies in the behavioral sciences), most of the reviews featured investigations of science and engineering personnel and materials. Stand-alone bibliographies of information needs and uses research declined in number after 1966, when the new annual review of information science and technology ( Arist ) included reviews of this body of publications.
