DEFINING TECHNICAL INFORMATION NEEDS FOR A RESEARCH LABORATORY,

Abstract

A checklist survey form listed 78 areas of probable or possible interest to members of a personnel research laboratory. Staff members responded to each item by marking one of 4 degrees of interest. A computer grouping technique was applied to cluster the 71 interest profiles in terms of common interests. 7 groups were identified and characterized by the major overlapping topics. The final cluster that included all staff members provided a listing of the topics in terms of overall laboratory concern. Results define the organization's technical information requirements and identify specialized consultants on acquisition and indexing problems. (Author)
