Abstract: On‐line interactive searching of several information bases through several service operators was introduced in an industrial research environment. Thorough knowledge of the information base and its structure in the search system is a major factor for successful searching, and differences among search systems do not present serious barriers. This new technique was most effectively used when the information specialist and the scientist searched as a team. On‐line searching is now an established search tool at Exxon Research and Engineering Company.
