本文探討光碟資料庫終端使用者之檢索問題對資訊尋求和資訊檢索之影響。本研究以國立臺灣大學學生為研究對象，以PsycLIT光碟資料庫為檢索系統，計有52位檢索者，總共進行58次檢索。本研究系統化地蒐集終端使用者之檢索背景、檢索問題和檢索結果，對於檢索問題進行性質上的分析，並進而探討檢索問題對檢索結果的影響。

This article analyzes the information seeking and information retrieval behavior of undergraduate and graduate students at National Taiwan University when using PsycLIT database. 52 subjects were studied through the semester, carrying out 58 searches. This study investigates information seeking and information retrieval by analyzing the use and influence of questions.

本研究之目的在分析資訊需求者與計畫檢索者對於相同檢索問題在分類上的差異。本研究由10位資訊需求者提出檢索問題並進行檢索，再由31位計畫檢索者針對此10個問題進行59次檢索。本文主要在比較此10位資訊需求者與31位計畫檢索者對同一檢索問題在分類上的差異，並探討此差異對檢索行為所造成之影響。本研究對檢索問題分類上的差異係從檢索問題之複雜性、專指性、前提假定三構面進行分析。本研究發現，相較於資訊需求者，計畫檢索者認為同一檢索問題所認知的複雜性較高，專指性亦較高，並傾於直接將前提假定用來進行檢索。

The project is designed to analyze the difference of question classifications between two groups of people: the end-users who have real information needs and the prohect searchers. Ten end-users address their search questions and proceed to do the search, while 31-project searchers conduct 59 times of searching on the ten questions posed by the end-users. The main purpose of this paper is to compare the classification differences of the search questions in terms of their complexity, specificity, and presupposition. The result of this study reveals that the project searchers not only perceive the questions in a more complex and specific way but also tend to proceed the search directly by using presuppositions of questions.
