On-site information seeking behaviors in earthquake and tsunami
CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2013We described 28 interviews conducted to determine how the people near the epicenter sought information just after the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake. We identified five key behaviors regarding information seeking: understand what they should do; confirm loved one's safety; get information to survive; seek information to return to regular life; and ...

An exploration of information-seeking behavior in emergency management
SMC'03 Conference Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. Conference Theme - System Security and Assurance (Cat. No.03CH37483), 2004Groups in risky, time-constrained situations may be confronted with problems that cannot be solved by following predefined procedures. This study explores the impact of various factors on group information-seeking behavior in such situations. A simulated experiment in emergency scenarios was conducted with both expert and novice groups with or without ...

A study of information seeking behavior
2017An individual has their own behavioral patterns that exhibit commonalities over different contexts and situations. Several studies have shown (1) dichotomic human mobility patterns in everyday life such as returner vs. explorer, (2) the analogy of the “Explorer” and the “Web Explorer,” and (3) the same brain structure used during both physical and ...

Advances in Nursing Science, 1984
The information-seeking patterns of clients have received little attention in nursing theory and research, but they are important antecedents of health-related decisions and behavior. The concept of information seeking is analyzed within the framework of a six-step process model. Inter-related dimensions of the information search process are identified

Motivation as a Lens for Understanding Information-seeking Behaviors
Journal of Cognitive NeuroscienceAbstract Most prior research characterizes information-seeking behaviors as serving utilitarian purposes, such as whether the obtained information can help solve practical problems. However, information-seeking behaviors are sensitive to different contexts (i.e., threat vs. curiosity), despite having equivalent utility.

Contextualizing the information‐seeking behavior of software engineers
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2014Information seeking in the workplace can vary substantially from one search to the next due to changes in the context of the search. Modeling these dynamic contextual effects is an important challenge facing the research community because it has the potential to lead to more responsive search systems. With this motivation, a study of software engineers

People utilize their social networks to get to resources, tangible or otherwise, that aid them in their everyday lives. Information scientists have shown that network characteristics of information structures can indeed influence human information searching and browsing behavior.

Disciplinary differences and undergraduates' information‐seeking behavior
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002AbstractThis 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 ...
