本文描述了一家大学健康科学图书馆向其用户提供BRS/After Dark搜索服务的经验，作为其中介搜索服务的补充。讨论了图书馆的环境、初步宣传工作和行政程序。本文试图评估这项服务在图书馆环境中的有用性。这项为期三个月的评价是根据管理这项服务的图书馆员的观察以及在两个月期间与搜索者进行的离职面谈得出的。用户满意度，无论是观察到的还是记录下来的，都相当高；然而，图书馆员发现，用户在构建适当的搜索策略方面比预期的更困难。总体而言，这项服务被评估为非常有用。
This paper describes the experience of an academic health sciences library which made BRS/After Dark, an end user search service, available to its clientele as a complement to its mediated search service. The library environment, initial publicity efforts and administrative procedures are discussed. An attempt is made to evaluate the usefulness of the service in a library environment. This evaluation, covering a three-month period, is based on the observations of the librarians administering the service and an exit interview conducted with searchers over a two-month period. User satisfaction, both observed and recorded, was quite high; however, the librarians found that users had more difficulty in constructing appropriate search strategies than had been anticipated. Overall, the service is assessed as highly useful.
