Abstract

Review the factors related to the environment and situation influencing users' information seeking behaviour and the various models and equations reported in the literature to describe this activity in a quantitative manner. Overall, the aim is to examine the degree to which these models of information seeking behaviour can be of use in designing practical information systems
