- Generalized Method for the User Evaluation of Purchased Information Services. First Quarterly Report (June 27 to September 30, 1975). Hall, Homer J. Cost Effectiveness Costs Decision Making Information Services Library Material Selection Matrices Sciences Special Libraries Technology Use Studies The first year of a two-year project to develop a method for user evaluation of purchased scientific and technical information services was directed at those services which provide information without interpretive evaluation or analysis.
