   The 'traditional' purposes and uses of abstracts, either alone or aggregated within an abstract journal or online directory, have changed very little over the centuries that abstracts have been used. The purposes focus on the ability to assemble, acces s, and evaluate relevant materials more easily and efficiently, using summaries of source items instead of the original items themselves.The basic principle to keep in mind while writing an abstract, is that the abstract may be the only text that users search and consult, if they choose not to retrieve the original data or information. Remembering this may help the abstractor focus on t he key elements and select terminology to be included. Types of abstracts There are two primary types of abstracts and selection of the appropriate type is dependent upon the nature of the material being described, and the intended use of the abstract. The indicative abstract contains generalized statements to convey (indicate) to the user what the described item is about. It is very brief, and does not contain specific findings. Its purpose is to acquaint users with the subject content of the resour ce and to help them decide whether or not to consult the original source. The informative abstract is generally longer and contains more complete and precise information about the resource, such as scope, objectives, and purpose of the work, methodolo gies used, key quantitative data, and any conclusions and recommendations. Its purpose is to serve as a true substitute for or surrogate of the resource.
