• W303565937 abstract "Archivists need to understand better the uses to which archival materials are put, and the role of documentation in the final product. This is especially the case for scholarly research which results in publications that can be systematically analyzed to reveal patterns of use. As one of the largest and most heavily used manuscript repositories in the country, the Library of Congress holds a wealth of information for studying the scholarly use patterns of manuscript collections. An analysis of the scholarly use patterns of thirteen collections of black and women's organizational records over a ten year period revealed that 123 users had published 168 books. Close examination of eightyfive of these books indicated that only thirty-one authors made extensive use of the archival documentation available for their research topics. The results of this study support the findings of other studies of archival use among scholars and suggest that if archivists paid more attention to the users of their collections, current archival administrative practices would need serious modification. Only recently have archivists begun to acknowledge the deficiencies in current archival administrative practices and to argue that they should pay more attention to the users of archival materials. Generally, archivists do not know how users approach materials, what kinds of questions they are asking, or how they intend to use the materials that they consult. Archivists must begin to understand better the uses to which archival materials are put, and they must continually be aware of current research trends to meet researchers' needs. Elsie Freeman of the National Archives has contended that all aspects of archival administration must begin to focus on the users of the records rather than on the records themselves. Other archivists have pointed out that use patterns of archival materials should be systematically studied to improve collecting policies, appraisal, arrangement, description, reference, access, and outreach.

In addition, the Society of American Archivists' Task Forces on Goals and Priorities and on Archives and Society have mandated that archivists undertake user surveys to evaluate current archival programs and to devise ways to increase the use of archival records.1 Finally, the 1985 SAA Annual Meeting devoted considerable attention to users and" @default.
