Multi-method experience sampling in information behaviour research

Capturing information behaviours and attitudes that occur in natural settings is a challenge. Observational methods are often intrusive or retrospective proxies, which may change behaviour misrepresent attitudes. Technology enables novel approaches to in-situ quantitative data collection but rarely explores qualitative reflections; informing researchers on what happened, not necessarily why. Recent work uses multi-method combine data, tracking experiences, feelings, over time, with gain deeper insights into subjective experiences.
