Title

¬The theory and empirical studies on information seeking

Abstract

Defines information seeking as using information to satisfy one's needs. Traditionally, quantitative research has focused on objective information and the external behaviour of users, while the alternative paradigm in user studies focused on subjective information and the internal cognition of users. In the context of the paradigm shift, scholars are calling for supplementing quantitative approaches with qualitative approaches. Reviews the literature and presents theories and empirical studies on information needs and information seeking behaviour
