Description
"The book focuses on decades of research into how people both find and think about information related to their problems and interests. Covering a broad range of concepts and empirical studies, Looking for Information explains the major ideas, theories, methods and research findings from hundreds of studies of occupations, roles and demographic groups. Examples of such roles, jobs and groups include managers, doctors, nurses, patients, scientists, engineers, scholars, lawyers, journalists, farmers, consumers, voters, students, children and the elderly. A bibliography listing more than 1,100 works makes this book a must for scholarship and reference work on the topic of information-related behaviours." - back cover.
