Database Design And Management, Carol Tenopir
Database Design And Management, Carol Tenopir
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
Librarians have used online bibliographic database searching for well over a decade. Good searchers are familiar with the content and characteristics of individual databases (such as ERIC or Chemical Abstracts) and with the online system (e.g., DIALOG or BRS) and the commands that are needed to search each database. Searchers must also have an understanding of how databases are created and structured, how they are processed by the online system's computer to enable searching, and what actually happens when a database is searched. This chapter focuses on these issues. Chapter 6 discusses specific databases and systems.
