Abstract
This paper presents a transaction log analysis of ResearchIndex, a digital library for computer science researchers. ResearchIndex
is an important information resource for members of this target group, and the collection sees significant use worldwide.
Queries from over six months of usage were analyzed, to determine patterns in query construction and search session behavior.
Where appropriate, these results are compared to earlier studies of search behavior in two other computing digital libraries.
