This study investigated the relationships between the online searching behavior of novice searchers and three measures of learning style--the Learning Style Inventory (LSI), the Remote Association Test (RAT), and the Symbolic Reasoning Test (SRT). The three tests were administered to 76 graduate students during the first class meeting of a beginning online searching course. Five measures of online behavior were then applied to printouts from two searching assignments completed by the students: (1) cycles; (2) commands; (3) descriptors; (4) connect time; and (5) references. After the end of the course and assignment of grades, scores were recorded from the LSI, RAT, and SRT and from the measures of online behavior taken from printouts of the two assigned searches. Analysis of these data showed some consistent relationships between modes of learning measured by the LSI and online searching behavior. Novice searchers who ranked in the assimilation quadrant tended to spend more time online, enter more commands, complete more cycles, key in more descriptors, and print more references during a search. Those who ranked in the accommodation quadrant tended to spend less time online, enter fewer commands, complete fewer cycles, key in fewer descriptors, and print fewer references. While these measures do not attempt to evaluate the results of a search, the findings of this study have implications for the selection and training of online searchers. (Author/CGD)
