Perhaps in the literature you're searching they discuss the concept as  
"user warrant" not "user centered." See

creating_a_controlled_vocabulary.php under number 2. "Start gathering  
terms" letter D. "Ask people"

If you're searching through more traditional library/indexing  
literature on the subject, I'd give that phrase a try. Maybe there's a  
subtle difference, but I think not.
