| Summary: | Starting from a literature review on concepts related to information-seeking behaviour, the paper presents and compares two models of information seeking: a behavioural model, developed by David Ellis from a study on Social Scientist, and a model of a process, developed by Carol Kuhlthau from a study of undergraduate students. It concludes that both models offer valid theoretical background, even though Ellis´s model appears to be more appropriate for the study of information seeking in scientific contexts. |
