Title

¬An optimal foraging approach to information seeking and use

Source

Library quarterly. 64(1994) no.4, S.414-449

Year

1994

Abstract

Explores the potential use of optimal foraging theory, derived from evolutionary ecology and studies of ways in which animals go about seeking food, for clarifying studies of scholarly communication with a view to its application to the ways in which scholarly users go about seeking and using information
