Make sure you use Chapter 7, 8, and 9 attached files!!
Provide
a discussion about your own information behavior and refer to the assigned
reading of the “models of information behavior” (Case & Given, 2016, ch7);
“metatheories, theories and paradigms” (Case & Given, 2016, ch8); and
“Research design and methods” (Case &Given, 2016, ch9) used by information
behavior researchers in the context described as follows:
1.
Introductory Paragraph
(Introduction)
· Determine a real-life situation in which you needed
information then describe the information need and the “information behavior”
you exhibited.
2.
Main Paragraphs
(Analysis)
· Discuss what this behavior demonstrates about:
o
Your information needs,
o
How and where you look
for information,
o
How you use the
information you find.
· Your discussion should demonstrate your understanding of
information needs, information seeking, and information behavior by
substantiating your ideas with the research from Case & Given (2016);
· Then select (1) a model and (2) a theory to analyze your
information behavior in the real-life situation within the context of the model
and then the theory;
· Did using the model and theory to analyze your information
behavior affect your perspective and interpretation of your information
behavior? Explain how.
· Were the model and theory useful in explaining your
information behavior in the real-life situation?
· What research design and method would be most appropriate
(considering the theory you have selected), in your opinion, to study your
information behavior?
· Substantiate your ideas using the content and resources
provided in the reading in chapters 7, 8 and 9. (Case & Given, 2016).
3.
Concluding Paragraph
(Conclusion)
· Summarize what you have learned, observed and/or concluded
and comments and/or reflection about your experience with this assignment.
