Abstract: A study, which is designed to produce new information to improve retrievability of books in libraries, explores the effectiveness of retrieving a known-item book using words from titles only. The findings reveal that searches produced titles having personal authors 81.4% of the time and anonymous titles 91.5% of the time.
