    Abstract
    Explains the conceptual basis for a study seeking to expound a perception of the Internet from a user oriented perspective and informed by a user oriented paradigm. Considers results of earlier studies of user perceptions of the Internet in an information seeking context and models of satisfaction with information seeking on the Internet. Develops a methodology for obtaining interval level data on user satisfaction with information seeking on the Internet and identifying the extent to which certain factors influence user satisfaction

    Abstract
    In 1986 Dervin and Nilan published a state of the art review of information needs and uses (ARIST 21(1986) S.3-33) in which they concluded that a paradigm shift was occuring in the discipline: a shift away from the traditional or system orientation towards an alternative or user orientations. Reports results of a survey undertaken to determine whether professional practice has been informed by this shift and whether reference librarians are user orientated or system orientated and what is said in reference internviews to support the assumptions they make about information, information behaviour and information users

    Abstract
    While most research in the area of human-information behavior has focused an a single dimension-either the psychological or the social-this case study demonstrated the importance of a multidimensional approach. The Cognitive Work Analysis framework guided this field study of one event of collaborative information retrieval (CIR) carried out by design engineers at Microsoft, including observations and interviews. Various dimensions explained the motives for this CIR event and the challenges the participants encountered: the cognitive dimension, the specific task and decision, the organization of the teamwork, and the organizational culture. Even though it is difficult at times to separate one dimension from another, and all are interdependent, the analysis uncovered several reasons for design engineers to engage in CIR, such as when they are new to the organization or the team, when the information lends itself to various interpretations, or when most of the needed information is not documented. Similar multidimensional studies will enhance our understanding of human-information behavior.

    Abstract
    Focuses on how satisfied Australian academics are when they use the Internet to search for information. Results validated magnitude estimates of user satisfaction with information seeking on the Internet. Testing the validity and reliability magnitude estimation as a technique for gathering and analysing interval data on satisfaction with information seeking was key to the investigation. Data for user satisfaction were then associated with end user characteristics like training, frequency of use and expectation of success. They have a high expectation of success when they engage in information seeking on the Internet and are satisfied with the process regardless of how frequently they use the network or whether or not they have formal training

    Abstract
    Describes qualitative research that was aimed at examining the way academics in Australian universities use the Australian Academic and Research Network (AARNet) to support their professional roles. The research is the preliminary stage of a larger project entitled AARNet and Academic Work, which aims to test the assumptions that underpin the establishment of national networks such as AARNet. The data collected by the qualitative study will be consolidated with the data collected in the quantitative study and the longitudinal study to be conducted in 1994-95. These consolidated data will be used to inform recommendations for the future development of AARNet in Australian universities
