“…Chemists in academe or in industrial companies are an easily reached audience, with clearly defined needs and a strong background, a win-win situation. Haines (1982) of Eastman Kodak, Buntrock (Buntrock and Valicenti, 1985) of Amoco, and Hawkin (1986), among others, describe successful programmes of training chemists as end-user searchers, emphasising the fact that they only trained willing candidates who did not need any inducement to learn.…”

“…Numerous definitions of the term end-user searcher can be found in the literature, some quite simple like that of Buntrock and Valicenti (1985):``processors of information who use information sources directly'', or of Arnold (1984):``persons who actually ask the information questions''. Larsen and Villumsen (1986) also add to the definition the criterion of self-search, accepting as endusers``persons consuming information carrying out their professions: research and development, analysts, decision makers''.…”

Users, end‐users, and end‐user searchers of online information: a historical overview

Discusses the changing relationships between information professionals – vendors, database producers, searchers – and end‐users, during the last three decades. Most of the time, the industry was quite vague as to who exactly the end‐users were, and consequently several different definitions were used to describe the target audience of online information systems. The needs and capabilities of the end‐user were measured conveniently through the reactions of libraries’ and information centres’ personnel who were not always the most suitable sources. The concept of the “end‐user” is examined from the beginning of the online industry in the 1970s through the menu driven systems of the 1980s and the role of the compact disk in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

(7) To study ICI management reaction, including the opinions of both chemistry and information managers on the cost effectiveness of end-user searching and the developments needed from CAS if further progress were to be made. (8) To learn how CAS might better serve the needs of end-user scientists.…”
