Abstract
Vignettes, or vignette-type questions have rarely been used in studies of information seeking, although in many respects the methodology is suited to studies of information behaviour. Vignettes can be described as stories, usually short, about particular characters and situations. They are generally hypothetical, but often rooted in the reality of research findings. In an interview or questionnaire survey setting respondents may be asked open or closed questions to reflect their response to the situation, to describe what could or should be done. A vignette approach was used in a small scale study of nursing professionals in the UK (Urquhart & Crane, 1994) and a similar approach used in the EVINCE project (Davies et al., 1997) to assess information seeking strategies. The technique offers advantages in that perceptions of particular information sources can be obtained in a non-threatening manner, an important point for studies of information seeking behaviour with a group such as nursing professionals who may feel very uncertain about their information retrieval skills. This paper briefly reviews the use of vignettes in social sciences and in the health sciences, for both research and educational assessment. Analysis and interpretation of vignette studies is discussed with reference to the EVINCE project findings. The way nursing knowledge is acquired and codified may affect the validity of the vignette technique for eliciting information seeking strategies.
