These guidelines describe questions by statisticians for information concerning the retrieval system environment. Specific statistician tasks are identified. The user support requirements are outlined. Constraints in the utilization of a statistician are discussed. The paper was conceived, reproduced, written, and distributed among the institute's two-week session.
