Within the construction industry, quantity surveyors (QSs) hold a key place as information managers The article reviews a research study of the QS’s information use and the impact of IT. QSs tended to be concerned about the facilities available to them. The pressure of time and their experience were key factors in information use. They were frequently suspicious of IT systems and realistic about the problems, especially the financial cost and time pressures. The conclusions suggest that there is an important role for librarians in this industry to promote information services, whether in a manual or an ITbased format.
