How Researchers Search for Manuscript and Archival Collections

How Researchers Search for Manuscript

and Archival Collections :Susan Hamburger

ABSTRACT. By conducting a survey of a cross-section of researchers

at six major research libraries, the author sought to determine the usefulness

of specific online resources to find primary sources, to ascertain researchers’

awareness of these sources, and to uncover their discovery

methodology. The survey results demonstrate that the majority of researchers

continue to utilize traditional methods of uncovering primary

sources and do not take full advantage of online resources. The author

offers four recommendations that archivists can implement to assist researchers

with online discovery.
