Title

¬The need for funded research

Abstract

Provides a brief summary of an OCLC funded project 'Identifying barriers to effective subject access in library catalogues'. The study investigated the probability that a skilled catalogue user would retrieve 'the best' materials on some subject, and if they were unable to do so, to determine how this could be improved. The transformation of the card catalogue onto an online database has not improved subject access. Offers a view of research in the context of the education and research roles of the library and information science educator. Discusses the university research environment, teaching students research skills and OCLC
