Abstract: Using Indexes as ''Memory Assists''A number of studies have demonstrated that readers at all levels ~f li~rary proficiency use the library catalog and other reference tools pnmanly to track down books and articles that they have learned about elsewhere-from book reviews, bibliographies, recommended reading lists , and friends and colleagues.Their tendency is to look things up by author or title, whichever is better known or remembered.The comparative usefulness of several well-known reference tools for this purpose is the subject of this report.
