Title

Users' persistence in scanning lists of references

Source

College and research libraries. 49(1988) no.2, S.149-156

Year

1988

Abstract

One of the basic information-seeking activities where library users might experience information overload is scanning lists of references. Because much information seeking is discretionary - users may abandon a search without fear of penalty - lists that are too long may influence users to stop searching
