Patterns of information seeking in the humanities. Wiberley, S. E. & Jones, W. G. College and Research Libraries, 50(6):638–645, November, 1989.
abstract   bibtex   
Describes how humanists in a small, interdisciplinary group seek information, confirming findings of previous research, although with significant variations. They ignore on-line data bases and seldom consult reference librarians, but they do rely on archivists and special collections librarians. Their use of formal bibliography is limited to 1 or 2 sources and occurs only when exploring new topics, their preference being to find information by going to the person or location that can supply it. 00 Original abstract–amended
