Disciplinary differences and undergraduates' information‐seeking behavior

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
AbstractThis study applied the Biglan model of disciplinary differences to the information‐seeking behavior patterns of 5,175 undergraduates responding to questions on the College Student Experiences Questionnaire (CSEQ). The Biglan model categorizes academic disciplines along three dimensions: (1) hard‐soft, (2) pure‐applied, and (3) life–nonlife ...
