项目摘要

This research intended to develop and verify the information behavioral grammar (IBG) model initially developed in 2000 based on phone interviewing and content analysis of AskERIC clients' information seeking processes. The IBG model captures how, on what purposes, and in what situations information-seeking processes are generated, and how these purposes and situations influence over the information seeking processes and their outcomes. As a conceptual model, the IBG model is considered as a bases for developing the next generation of digital libraries which will provide information resources responding to searchers' input of their information needs and contexts.The conceptual framework of the IBG model was initially developed as hypotheses through the author's dissertation research. The current research is intended to verify the IBG model in order to expand it's transferability into a wider variety of information seeking processes not limited to the users of AskERIC or other digital reference services. The core of the current research consists of content analysis of thirty-one information seeking processes, nice for research, six for teaching and sixteen for personal/family decision making, elicited by face-to-face interviews of ten researchers from a variety of social science domains.Results indicate that the IBG model fits the patterns identified for social scientists' information-seeking processes for research and teaching. However, we could not obtain reliable data to verify the applicability of the IBG model to their information-seeking processes for personal/family decision making, mainly because these processes were deeply embedded in their everyday life activities and, in most cases, were taken for granted, which made difficult recall of the exact sequence of actions with associated cognitive, affective, social and environmental situations.

这项研究旨在根据Askeric客户的信息寻求过程的电话访谈和内容分析，开发和验证2000年最初开发的信息行为语法（IBG）模型。 IBG模型捕获了如何，什么目的以及在哪些情况下生成信息寻求过程，以及这些目的和情况如何影响寻求过程及其结果的信息。作为概念模型，IBG模型被视为开发下一代数字库的基础，这些数字库将提供信息资源，以响应搜索者的信息需求和上下文的投入。当前的研究旨在验证IBG模型，以将其转移性扩展到不限于Askeric或其他数字参考服务的用户的更多信息中。当前研究的核心包括对31个信息寻求过程的内容分析，适用于研究，六个用于教学和16个个人/家庭决策，这是由来自各种社会科学领域的10位研究人员的面对面访谈所提出的。研究表明，IBG模型适合于社会科学家的信息，以用于社会科学家的信息 - 寻找和教学。但是，我们无法获得可靠的数据来验证IBG模型对个人/家庭决策的信息寻求信息的适用性，主要是因为这些过程深深地嵌入了他们的日常生活活动中，并且在大多数情况下，这些过程被认为是理所当然的，这使得与相关的认知，情感，社交和环境和环境和环境和环境的确切序列很难回忆起。
