Quick Search Librarian Fast but frustrating

Abstract

The Quick Search Librarian is an inexpensive, specialized file manager for capturing, sorting and searching journal literature and other serials materials. Although it searches a file faster than a scalded cat, the search implementation and operations are cumbersome. It would therefore not be a good choice for applications such as ad hoc inquiries, that require immediate, easy access to search results. Not would it be a good choice for producing print‐ready bibliographic materials. However, the package can be an acceptable information management tool when quick turnaround is not required, and where it is used frequently enough so the user becomes thoroughly familiar with the search codes and procedures.
