Development of an Information Sheet for Intermediary Users of the Defense Technical Information Center's Defense RDT&E Online System.

Abstract

Concurrent with the growth and development of online databases is the increasing size of the online user population. A continual need exists to investigate new ways to be of service to and communicate with the online user. This paper discusses the development of a search aid based on a current topic for intermediary users of the Defense Technical Information Center's (DTIC's) Defense RDT&E Online Systems (DROLS). This product is a bimonthly information sheet entitled CURRENT TOPICS FOR DROLS SEARCHERS. Although some of the ideas discussed may be applicable to end users, the research focused on the DROLS intermediary user. Keywords: On line systems; DROLS(Defense RDT&E Online System); Search strategy; User needs; Training; Information retrieval; DTIC (Defense Technical Information Center).
