Abstract: New Knowledge has long been the hallmark of scholarly work. This requires, of necessity, abandoning goal oriented deterministic notions of searching. Subject searches and known item searches and classification schemes are of little use for they are founded on what is known. One cannot walk into a library or log into a search engine and ask for “That new model we are trying to develop” or even for “Those documents that would catalyze ideas spinning about in our head into a unique solution of this intractable problem.”
