Abstract: Online searching is a changing, evolving portion of the information industry. During the past 10 years, it has moved from libraries into homes and offices creating a group of people called end‐user searchers. The definition of end‐user searchers distinguishes them from intermediary searchers, but a demographic profile is unavailable. End‐user searchers perform online searches for a variety of reasons; past trends indicate that end‐user searching will increase. This probable increase has significant implications for vendors and for intermediaries, as more and different customer demands will be made. © 1986 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
