The existence of communication between the research and the practice component of nursing knowledge was demonstrated and appears to be more prevalent than previously indicated.

Traditionally, the catalog record for an item has been based on the cataloger's inspection of the item and has contained a complete description of the item. An alternative approach-user-centered designorne people who approach a library catalog have a particular item in mind, and they · want to determine whether the library holds that item and where in the library it is located. Such a person would conduct a known-item search. A knownitem search may include the author, the title, the subject, or a combination of these and other pieces of information to identify the item in the catalog. Inclusion of a piece of information in the knownitem search presumes that the searcher knows that piece of information.
