Many research‐based models of information seeking behaviour are limited in their ability to describe everyday life … information seeking. Such models tend to focus on active information seeking, to the neglect of less‐directed practices. Models …

Purpose – This paper aims to gain insights from existing models of information behaviour, building on them to develop a …‐established models of information seeking and of communication, from which a new conceptual model is constructed. Findings – Existing … models have elements in common, though most models in library and information science focus on information seeking and the …
