"Highly recommended for all academic library chemistry collections; biochemistry and medical collections may also want to consider." (Choice) "Each entry is provided with a definition, a description of the effect, application, and literature citations."... the selection in this book is broad and useful." (J. of Am. Chem. Soc.) "The book is not just a collection of definitions of acronyms, each entry contains a concise and informative explanation of the origins of the technique or method to which it refers... this book is a must for progression of any budding spectroscopist."

This inspiring book addresses a topic that is far too often ignored or disregarded by sci-tech librarians: Exactly how do scientists and engineers really discover, select, and use the countless information and communications resources available to them when conducting research? The answer to this question should be a major influence on the way information specialists develop information systems in their libraries. Unfortunately, many librarians are not as familiar with the work, information needs, and communicating behavior of the research worker. Information Seeking and Communications Behavior of Scientists and Engineers looks at this question from several perspectives to give an overall view of how to best serve the needs of the scientific community. This book is an encouragement and a challenge to sci-tech librarians to make an ever greater effort to understand the work of their users, the differing information channels and sources they employ, and thus tailor the library’s systems and services to best support their information-seeking behavior.
Contains material that should prove helpful to sci-tech librarians in furthering their understanding and appreciation of science as a broadly-based and creative experience - and how to use these titles to share this understanding with students and other readers.
