Several authors have proposed information seeking as an appropriate perspective for studying software maintenance activities. However, there is little research in the literature describing holistic information-seeking models in this context. Additionally, in the one instance where an information-seeking model has been proposed, the empirical evidence presented in support of that model is extrem...

The complexity involved in the understanding of human collaboration leads to the design of novel approaches for its study. Particularly, in the context of information seeking little is known about collaboration, indeed only during the last years the study of collaborative information seeking (CIS) has become a subject of interest in the research community. Considering the lack of appropriate me...

Professional search in an engineering context includes users on different stages from novice to expert. We discuss how searching as learning can help to understand searching in a larger information seeking, workspace, and learning environment, giving users the tools and understanding to become experts over time. We present some findings of user interaction with engineering domain retrieval syst...

Abstract: Information behavior is one of the important research fields in the knowledge management. It could be considered as an effective factor in design, development and evaluation of data mining applications. This paper introduces an approach called elite information behavior in response to educational and research evolutions. This research is quantitative and tries to investigate the diffe...

Information seeking behaviour is an essential component in designing and developing of need based information centers for meeting the information requirements of users. The study undertaken is an output of doctorate research in the field of agricultural sciences scanned in Indian context. The study covers various facets of information seeking behaviour of agricultural scientists and their conce...
