crl-11228	Meyer, Robert S.	Catalog Use Study (Book Review)	1959-01-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1466	57	50	However, most of these find- ings, and the recommendations arising from them, will come as no surprise to those familiar with the results of other studies of catalog users. Other important results of the study: oral citations were the major source of references sought in the catalog; inexperience and un- familiarity with the catalog were frequent causes of difficulty; the number of search failures increased directly with the size of the catalog; divided catalogs failed only about half as often as dictionary catalogs; the subject part of the catalog was more dif- ficult to use, even for librarians, than the author-title parts; and cards under a given subject heading were usually selected by the patron according to date of publication rather than alphabetical position.	cache/crl-11228.pdf	txt/crl-11228.txt
