이용자 정보추구 모형에 관한 메타적 연구

Whereas earlier research on information seeking efforts focused on system related concepts and observer constructs. the recent literature reflects a move toward user consturcts. The purpose of the study is to review, analyze and synthesize the various models on information seeking. The study suggests that the practice of intermediares can be both more efficient and effective if it is based on the conceptual assumptions that undergird the cognitive factors: systems designs or software access will also benefit if these cognitive factors are built into the information system as centeral design features.
