Abstract:: As IAMSLIC members will recall, in 1990 Stephanie Haas questioned ASFA’s supremacy in marine science libraries and found “potential pitfalls” if relying on a single database to adequately discover the relevant literature (Haas 1990).

Creator:: Jung, Seikyung, Harris, Kevin, Webster, Janet G., and Herlocker, Jonathan L.
Abstract:: Today's university library has many digitally accessible resources, both indexes to content and considerable original content.

In response to this, we...
