Abstract

A report from the ICSTI group on a project to identify, and describe problems of interdisciplinary searching and to propose remedies and solutions. The project: gathered the relevant information through a questionnaire addressed to database builders, online system vendor, search intermediaries and end users; analyzed and organized the input and presented a report. 6 categories of problems were discussed: coverage and technical content of the database, bibliographic information, textual content, numeric data, file organization and interdisciplibary searching on multiple hosts. Make recommendations for possible remedies
