The purpose of this study is to discuss the direction of studies of information seeking behavior(ISB) by analyzing previous studies provided model of ISB. Studies were divided into 3 types in terms of factors, processes, or types/patterns of ISB and sub-analyzed by 9 aspects such as research method/ theoretical framework, context of ISB and vice versa. Korean research strategies for overcoming the limitation of ISB studies are to do holistic research approach capturing complexity and multidimention of ISB as well as to extend research objects. Also, it needs to construct substantive theories based upon korean phenomenon of ISB.

The purpose of this study is to construct a substantive theory that described and explained how pregnant women are seeking information in context of pregnancy. A qualitative design based on the method of grounded theory was utilized. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 pregnant women, selected by theoretical sampling who receiving antenatal care 3 different university hospitals. The interview data were transcribed and systematically analyzed according to the open coding, axial coding and selective coding. 'Increasing Sense of Self-Control over Pregnancy' was the core category for describing and guiding the process of seeking information during the pregnancy. To construct a theory of 'Increasing Sense of Self-Control over Pregnancy' in this study, eight hypothetical statement were generated from the relationships among the core category and the other categories, thus four patterns were derived as follows: 'Desperately Seeking', 'Actively Seeking', 'Unconcernedly Seeking', 'Resignedly Seeking'. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of development of LIS theory in Korea, theory development of information behavior, education for LIS, and information service practice. The suggestions for further research are provided.

본 연구는 조직의 작업정보환경이 개인의 피이드백 추구 행위에 어떤 영향을 주는가에 관한 탐색적인 연구이다. 피이드백 추구 행위를 '탐지'와 '문의'의 유형으로 나누되, 피이드백 원천에 따라 상사에 대한 문의, 상사에 대한 탐지, 동료에 대한 문의, 동료에 대한 탐지를 구분하였으며, 작업정보환경은 피이드백 원천(상사, 동료, 자기자신)으로부터의 피이드백을 피이드백 부호(긍정적 피이드백, 부정적 피이드백)에 따라 평가하였다. 연구의 방법은 군 헬리콥터 조정사 훈련생 187명을 대상으로 질문지 방법에 의하였다. 연구의 결과 첫째, '탐지'와 '문의'의 피이드백 추구행위는 정의 상관관계를 보임으로써 피이드백 추구전략으로서 두 행위 유형은 서로 대체관계에 있지 않으며, 특정 유형의 피이드백 추구행위가 오히려 다른 유형의 피이드백 추구행위에 대한 필요성을 높여주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, '탐지'를 통한 피이드백과 '문의'를 통한 피이드백은 적어도 질적으로 상이한 정보를 제공하여 주는 것으로 인식되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 어떤 원천으로부터 제공되었거나 추구된 피이드백 정보는 다른 피이드백 원천으로의 추구행위와 정의 상관관계를 보임으로써, 여러 피이드백 원천들로부터 제공되는 피이드백 정보는 피이드백 수신자에게 서로 대체적인 역할을 하지 않으며, 특정 피이드백 원천으로부터의 피이드백은 피이드백 수신자로 하여금 질적으로 상이한 정보를 제공하여 주는 것으로 인식되는 상이한 원천으로부터의 피이드백을 추구하도록 한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 작업정보환경에서 긍정적 피이드백이 주어지면 인상관리의 측면에서 적극적으로 피이드백을 추구하는 경향이 있었으며, 부정적 피이드백이 주어진 경우, 본 연구에서와 같이 성과가 매우 중요시 여겨지는 조직에서는 개인이 그 정보적 가치를 높게 평가하여 대체로 피이드백을 적극적으로 추구하는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Using Grounded Theory. the present study was to discover structure and process of pregnant women's information seeking experience through identifying concepts and relationships of the experience. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 Participants selected by theoretical sampling. The findings were : 1) Pregnant womens' information seeking was caused by Acceptance of Pregnancy . 2) The phenomenon of information seeking was for Maintaining Normalcy to Pregnancy(MNP), 3) MNP occurred in connection with Perceived Anxiety and Desire to Know 4) Action/interaction Strategies to MNP were related to the Awareness of Ways Acquiring Information. Previous Knowledge. Self-Regulation, and Information Access Environment. 5) Action/interaction Strategies to MNP were Seeking Diagnostic Data of Antenatal Care. Seeking Standard Knowledge. Seeking Experience. and Seeking Emotional Support. 6) As consequences of taking strategies, pregnant women were experienced in Sufficient. or Insufficient. 7) A three-stage process of information seeking was discovered : Comparing, Contextualising, Making sure. 8) In terms of change of information needs during pregnancy, a four-phasic process was discovered. Acceptance Phase. Adjusted Phase, Focusing Phase, and Transitional Phase. Based upon these results. it needs to generate a substantive theory contributed to holistically explain and predict pregnant women's information seeking behavior.

The purpose of this study is to examine the emotional and behavioral characteristics of information seeking of university students in context in which a class assignment should be completed. An attempt was made to understand better individualized and selective behavior observed while seeking information in the commonly defined context. Data was collected from content analysis of self-reports by 54 university students majoring in library and information science. Major findings were analyzed in relation to the preception and feelings over, and barriers and strategies of seeking information, and the use of information resources.

Rapid change in information use environments that corresponds with the development of new technologies requires a new perspective in examining information source uses and information services. As understanding information seeking behaviors is an essential element for improving information services, the changing information seeking behaviors should be examined in a timely manner. While several prior studies focus on this topic, few studies deal with medical doctors' information seeking behaviors especially focusing on information seeking in both medical practices and research. Thus, this study aims to explore the information seeking behaviors of medical doctors who are both medical practitioners and researchers. Data were obtained by open-ended and semi-structured in-depth interviews during one month from April to May, 2009. The interview-question topics ranged from research contexts, medical-practice-related information seeking behaviors, favorable information sources, and information search process and satisfaction. Findings include that, for research purpose, digital journal articles accessed through the PubMed were more favorable sources while, for practice purpose, printed textbooks were preferred. Overall, the most-frequently-used sources were PubMed and articles because medical doctors regard the reliability and authority very highly.

진기함추구성향 (novelty seeking)이란 새롭고 다양한 경험을 추구하는 소비자의 욕구로서, 혁신행동의 인지적 근본으로 간주되기도 한다. 본 연구는 소비자의 진기함추구성향, 패션혁신행동, 그리고 대인영향력간의 관계를 조사하고, 이러한 관계가 성별(gender)에 따라 차이가 있는지 조사하였다. 대학생집단을 표본으로 한 설문지조사를 통해 자료가 수집되었으며 , 539장의 응답자가 분석되었다. 여자대학생이 모든 변인(진기함추구, 패션혁신행동, 대인영향력, 의복흥미, 정보추구)에 있어 남자대학생보다 높은 경향을 나타냈으나, 변인들간의 관계에 있어서는 뚜렷한 성차가 보이지 않았다. 정보추구행동이 패션혁신행동에 영향을 주는 공통변인으로, 의복흥미, 정보추구활동, 패션혁신행동이 대인영향력에 영향을 주는 공통변인들로 나타났으나 진기함추구성향은 패션혁신 행동과 대인영향력에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 새로움과 다양함을 시도하려는 성향/의도는 채택이라는 실질적인 행동을 수반하는 패션혁신행동을 예측하는데는 충분하지 않은 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to try to describe types of invasion of privacy caused by excessive information seeking on mass media. Recent 5 years of cases were gathered and analyzed to see the types of invasion of privacy, and extracted only those cases showing the results by excessive information seeking. Three standards such as the intension, the subject, and the characteristics were selected to differentiate the types and cases. Five types of those three standards were introduced by case by case. The issues regarding ways of privacy protection and correct attitude of information seeking were explored and a few suggestions were included at the end.

인터넷이 발전함에 따라 사람들은 필요로 하는 정보를 쉽고 빠르게 찾을 수 있게 되었다. 또한 세계화가 급속히 이루어지면서 개인이 속한 사회의 크기가 커지고 다양한 역할, 관계 속에서 정보추구행위가 빈번히 일어나고 있다. 그러나 개인의 다양한 사회적 역할에 따른 대학원생의 정보추구행태에 관한 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 대학원생들을 대상으로 이들의 사회적 역할에 따른 다양한 정보추구행태에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 정성적인 연구 수행을 위해 국내외 선행연구 분석을 하여 인터뷰 질문 문항을 신분, 전반적인 정보추구행태, 선호하는 정보원과 그 유형, 검색과정과 만족도 등 4가지로 구성하였다. 연구 결과, 대학원생들이 처해 있는 다양한 사회적 역할 속에서의 경험이 전반적으로 정보추구행태에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study analyzed the characteristics of library service users' information seeking behavior based on the grounded theory methodology. After interviewing twelve undergraduate students, the researcher coded the data based on the grounded theory methodology. As a result of the entire coding processes, this study constructed the library service users' information seeking behavior model. According to the model, the following ten factors are important when explaining library service users' information seeking behavior: the information users' environment, other people, users' experiences, recognition of information sources, information provided, memory, a need-creating environment, information gathering, information use, and satisfaction and/or dissatisfaction.
