A qualitative study of information seeking and use in the professional workplace context : using the sense-making approach

Although many researchers agree to the importance of adopting a "situational" approach to study information seeking and use, what they mean by "situational" differs. Most user studies define "workplace domain" as a "situation", and expect to find constancies o...

Most user studies define "workplace domain" as a "situation", and expect to find constancies of information needs, information seeking and use behaviors for people belonging to the same workplace domain across time.
