Investigación del comportamiento informacional a través del análisis de redes sociales
2013
El enfoque prevaleciente en la investigación del comportamiento informacional es el constructivista centrado en el indivi- duo como generador de conocimiento. Recientemente han aumentado las críticas a esta postura reclamando un giro hacia lo social. Desde esta perspectiva se emplean métodos como el análisis del discurso que busca conocer, a través del lenguaje de los usuarios, cómo se genera y comparte el conocimiento en el contexto social. Otros métodos más objetivistas como el análisis de redes sociales podrían contribuir a un mayor conocimiento de este aspecto. Este trabajo describe cómo se ha aplicado a la investigación del comportamiento informacional, se presenta una apli…
Diffusion of theories and theoretical models in the Ibero‐American research on information behavior
2021
Ibero-American research on information behavior (IB) lacks the visibility typical of other parts of the world, and little is known about it in countries outside the area. The objective of this paper has therefore been to analyze the way in which Ibero-American research incorporates various theoretical references to empirical research on IB. The results point to the existence of different focuses of research in the past 10 years, in the sense of a reduced empirical approach and a moderate to minimal use of theories in the design of such research. Furthermore, the most cited theories and models of IB at an international level are those most widely applied in this geographical area, and the us…

Culture of information and information exchange in a public hospital : a study based on the information orientation model and social network analysis
2022
The structures of hospitals have evolved to make them centre on patients and their pathologies, with care procedures that are both interprofessional and interorganisational. This has given rise to work environments made up of teams obliged to collaborate in their problem-solving, with an essential focus on proper collaborative information behaviour (CIB). The aim was to study this behaviour in a clinical service of a hospital in relation to two aspects: information culture (IC) and the exchange of information. This entailed designing a two-part descriptive study. The first step was to administer a survey based on the information orientation model to know more about the service’s IC. The sec…

Grounded theory for generating theory in the study of behavior
2012
The use of grounded theory procedures for the study of information behavior has contributed to generating theory in this field. Thirty-one works were analyzed with regard to a) their relationship to the context in which the research was carried out, b) the aspect of information behavior researched, c) the use of grounded theory procedures, and d) the generation of theory. Most of the studies were carried out in the context of health information, and grounded theory procedures were for the most part only partially applied. The theoretical propositions produced depended on the subject being studied. Although this methodology is suitable for the study of an individual's interaction with inform…
The influence of Elfreda Chatman's theories: a citation context analysis
2018
The range of theoretical frameworks currently being used by researchers into information behaviour is abundant and diverse. We need to examine thoroughly the contribution of theories and models to further research, as this would help to improve future investigations in the field. This paper adopts this approach, by thoroughly examining the influence that Elfreda Chatman's three middle-range theories have had on subsequent research. A citation context analysis was carried out on the basis of those received by Information poverty theory, life in the round theory and normative behaviour theory. Analysis covered the year of publication, the type of work and the subject-matter of the citing docu…

Information needs and uses: An analysis of the literature published in Spain, 1990–2004
2007
This article presents a descriptive analysis of works published in Spanish journals and of the papers of conferences held in Spain in the field of information needs and uses in the period 1990–2004 in order to determine if the change in approach described by Dervin and Nilan, among others, also occurred outside the English speaking world. An analysis of the characteristics of relevant publications in this field (by year, authorship, type of document, type of work, and means of publication) shows that although activity is increasing, information needs and uses have not yet become a well-established area. In addition, a study of the content characteristics (by type of user, methodology used, …
