Our Users: Similarities and Differences
Crampon (USC) and Tompson (JPL) for UCLA January 2014 -- JPL/Caltech/NASA Cleared for Unlimited Release! 6!
• “Engineers use their colleagues as a resource more o^en than scien*sts”
• “Scien*sts use literature more than engineers” • “Engineers use the literature differently from sciences and o^en need different types of literature.... – For instance, engineers read more trade journals and internal reports than scien*sts do.”
• Engineers use conference data more than than scien*sts (our experience)
