Sound and Unsound Short Cuts in Searching the Literature
CHARLOTTE M. SCHALER, Julian F. Smith · Advances in chemistry series · 1954
Sound short cuts in literature searching evolve from thorough application of searching principles and thorough acquisition of technical knowledge and nomenclature on the subject. The time spent on a search can be reduced for the professional searcher by planning the search routine and by using nontechnical help in some steps. An administration supporting a literature unit which maintains a collection of references on topics of interest is the greatest time saver for the searcher. A bibliography on the technique of searching, which accumulated in such a unit, is appended.
