Tennant's Law
From LISWiki
A frequently cited statement by Roy Tennant:
- librarians like to search
- everyone else likes to find
The maxim first appeared in Roy's Digital Libraries column in Library Journal.[1]
It is often quoted during discussions of search processes and features not of interest to library patrons, who usually view tools such as OPACs and databases merely as a means to an end.
