Don't know of any research on this but I usually use the ISBN - it's the
quickest way.  This search option is available on most University catalogues
and Nat. Libraries.

Subject: Searching the electronic catalog


Hello All,

I need to find some information on the users' preferences regarding
the search of electronic library catalogs. That is: what part of the
users look for a specific author, book title, what part do keyword
search and what part use subject headings. If you know about any
research on this, I would be very grateful for the information.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
