Abstract
Research information has traditionally been utilized in two distinct ways: for the development of theory and as the basis for the solution of specific problems. In fields such as psychology the emphasis has been primarily on research utilization for the continual development of theory. Yet in other fields such as engineering, emphasis has been primarily on utilizing research information for the solution of specific problems.1
