Regular monthly outputs can be supplied, or other arrangements can be made to suit the client.
New data base items are sent to customers on magnetic tape.
Different enquirers might ask for this subject in quite different ways - eg, is there anything on 'TV advertising of aluminium pressure-cookers'?.
Their effective operation is not immediately obvious to the uninitiated and the cards in the index are liable to become disorganized if inexperienced information seekers tamper with the index.
In such instances the attitude and disposition of the inquirer is important.
The level of specificity that is desirable in any index is a function of the collection being indexed, its use and its patrons.
The system permits the requester to specify up to five potential lending libraries, and the system transmits the requests to these libraries one at a time.
Equally, various trade directories and other lists need to list and organise names in a form that will enable a searcher to find information about an organisation or person.
Users make suggestions for modifications and these are then channelled through a series of committees.
Librarians also provide some assistance with that most familiar and awkward-to-handle enquiry from library users concerning the possible value of Grandpa's old Bible or other old book unearthed in the attic during a clear-out.

The method consists of a weighted scoring technique based on a customisable criteria hierarchy.

use-based
client-centred [client-centered, -USA]
Use-based selection policies represent a sound principle, but their implementation depends upon a more effective feedback from user to abstractor than most abstracting agencies can achieve.
Archives administration needs to move to a client-centred rather than materials-centred approach.

With the advent of both library on-line public access catalogue and end-user searching of on-line and CD-ROM data bases, the need for improved instruction in library use approaches a new plateau.

user-centred [user-centered, -USA]
The customer-focused service provided by libraries makes them ideal candidates.
The CBC has just revamped their site so it's more user-focused.

A user-defined format uses two-letter display codes, which in most cases are identical to the database's field codes (without the slash or equal sign, eg., TI, AU).

Being a librarian may be, for many, an avocation, but for all, it is certainly a job, and one which, like so many client-serving and cultural occupations, has become increasingly professionalized.

user-driven
Labelling of subjects presents problems mainly because, in order to achieve a user-orientated approach, the various approaches of different users must be catered for.
Whether conceived as a bookmark, newspaper tabloid, balloon, slick booklet, or some other format, the client-directed annual report conveys not only the information itself but also the intent to focus on the client's interest.
Also, in planning for national, user-oriented computer-based cataloging, it is imperative that all reasonable bibliographic information be entered into the record.
Successful information providers will be those that are user-driven rather than technology-driven.

marketing audit
user survey
This statistical methods course emphasizes the 'people' aspect of library use so that relevant data for collection development policy would be gathered primarily from user studies, questionnaires, and community analysis and surveys.
Kotler defines the marketing audit as a 'comprehensive, systematic, independent, and periodic examination of the library's total environment, objectives, strategies, activities, and resources in order to determine problem areas and opportunities and to recommend a plan of action'.
One of the factors to be identified by a user survey is the sufficiency of existing resources and efficiency of services.

This article describes an information literacy programme which aims to equip students with the knowledge and ability to effectively use the full range of available tools for accessing, retrieving and managing information.
The advent of complex information technologies requires a new paradigm for library instruction and the instructional role of academic librarians.
There is no doubt that IT has transformed attitudes and heightened the awareness of academics towards the significance of inculcating information skills = No hay duda de que la TI ha transformado las actitudes y ha hecho que los académicos sean más consciente de la importancia de inculcar las destrezas relacionadas con la información.
Various recommendations are made for the improvement of the programmes, including the introduction of a course in library user education in the universities which will be taken by all first year students.
Members of Iowa State University's graduating class of 1986 were surveyed about their attitudes toward having been required to take a course in bibliographic instruction.
It seems natural to employ the microcomputer for user education, since computer-aided learning (CAL) is one of the principal ways in which microcomputers are used in schools and colleges.
This article examines the benefits of a good sense of humour to librarians involved in library user training.
And as has often been pointed out, the increased provision of user instruction has tended to strengthen rather than dispel the myth of reader self-sufficiency.
The project will measure the need for user training in the use of electronic journals.
It has been found that the larger the library, the greater the tendency for both formal and informal patron instruction to occur = Se ha descubierto que mientras más grande es la biblioteca, mayor es la tendencia a que se ofrezcan cursos de formación de usuarios tanto formal como informal.
The data considered by the Review Committee strongly suggests that reader education will need to be a major priority in the next few years.

The ever-increasing automation of libraries makes it incumbent upon bibliographic instructors to teach the use of computerised library resources.

Archives administration needs to move to a client-centred rather than materials-centred approach.
The article 'client-driven reference collections for the 1990s' urges librarians to examine closely whom they serve and clarify the mission of the library.
Whether conceived as a bookmark, newspaper tabloid, balloon, slick booklet, or some other format, the client-directed annual report conveys not only the information itself but also the intent to focus on the client's interest.
As others have pointed out, for the most part reference librarians are medium-oriented rather than client-oriented.
The customer-focused service provided by libraries makes them ideal candidates.

user interest profile
For SDI to be 'selective', it has to be matched against the known subject interests of the individual, i.e. a subject profile, so that the user receives only information that is relevant.
In such applications the search statement, usually referred to as a user interest profile is a linked set of index terms, which remains relatively stable over several computer runs.

Publishers can deliver machine-readable databases direct to customers such as libraries, companies, home users, schools and financial institutions.
The drawbacks of 'home' computers relate primarily to the software, which, since these systems are aimed at the domestic user, tends to be very low performance.
Data were collected by questionnaires sent to residential users of computers.
