The Information Needs and Habits of Humanities Scholars.

Abstract

The portrait of the humanities scholar that was drawn by Stone in 1982 included the characteristics of working alone, needing to browse collections, and adopting a variety of approaches to identifying material. A review of the 1983-1992 literature suggests that a more complete understanding is now possible of the information needs and uses, and of the information-seeking behavior, of this library clientele. A current portrait of the humanities scholar suggests that this client group is more diverse than previously assumed.
