Title

POINTER vs. Using Government publications : where's the advantage?

Source

Reference librarian. 1989, no.23, S.191-205

Year

1989

Abstract

POINTER is a microcomputer program and expert system that simulates the advice of a government documents librarian suggesting the use of particular reference books. Using Government publications is a 2 volume work which identifies search strategies and sources of information for handling many specific topics and types of questionsassociated with federal documents. A comparison of these 2 reference aids reveals advantages and disadvantages of each as well as the difficulty of developing a conceptual framework for federal document research.
