    Abstract
    Many research projects have studied the use of information by professionals but their value has been reduced by the lack of connection to a larger framework or theoretical perspective. With this in mind a study was undertaken to review the literature on the information seeking behaviour of 3 professional groups: engineers; health care professionals; and lawyers to determine whether there were common themes, findings, or theoretical perspectives among the various studies. The findings were used to develop a model of information seeking behaviour. Reports results of a study to apply the model to analyze data from a pilot study of the role of visiting nurses in linking the elderly with community resources, and the role played by information seeking behaviour in community information (vgl. Journal of education for library and informations science, Jan/Feb 1997). The model has considerable potential for providing a conceptual framework for the understanding of information seeking behaviour of professionals

    Abstract
    Drawing upon existing research and previous attempts at modeling the information-seeking behavior of specific professional groups, this article posits an original model of information seeking that is applicable to all professionals. The model was developed through a careful analysis and interpretation of empirical studies on the information habits and practices of three groups: engineers, health care professionals, and lawyers. The general model and its six major components are presented in detail. These six components are (1) work roles, (2) associated tasks, and (3) characteristics of information needs and three factors affecting information seeking: (4) awareness, (5) sources, and (6) outcomes. In turn, each component contains a number of variables that are described with examples from the literature. The complexity of the information-seeking process is conceptualized in terms of the interaction and simultaneous occurrence of the model's components and variables, including a feedback mechanism. The article concludes with suggestions as to the potential usefulness of the model.

    Abstract
    Explores the differences between information and referral agencies and online community networks from an information policy perspective and uses a framework proposed by Wilkinson (1992) to analyze the positioning of control within the 2 intermediaries under 6 facets: agency ownership and governance, funding, information flow, access, information ownership, and quality control. Existing community networks and information and referral agencies are used as examples to illustrate the arguments

    Abstract
    The survey by Pettigrew and McKechnie reveals an astonishing array of theories that information scientists have employed. Does such richness represent a fruitful blending of different intellectual communities, or superficial scattering of attention?

    Abstract
    Pettigrew, Durrance, and Unruh report on data collected by survey, interview, field observation and focus groups concerning three communities recognized for community information networks in which the local public library played a leading role. The survey was posted for 73 days on the website of each network and yielded 197 responses providing insights on how the public uses CI systems, barriers encountered, and resulting benefits to users and communities. Responding users were diverse demographically, and sought a wide variety of information types. The information types were broader than previous CI studies with a strong emphasis on employment, volunteerism, social services, local history and genealogy, sale, exchange and donation of goods, news, and technical information. Barriers identified were technological, economic, geographic, search skill related, cognitive, and psychological, as well as a large class of information related barriers concerning the quality of the information provided, its accessibility, and security. Users are identified who browse the CI system with particular interest in discovering material of potential value to others. The systems are valued and used by the adult population and seem to strengthen existing communities while stimulating the formation of information communities.

    Abstract
    A content analysis of 1,160 Library and Information Science (LIS) articles published in six LIS journals between 1993 and 1998 was conducted to examine the use of theory in LIS research. Overall, 34.2 percent of articles incorporated theory in either the title, abstract, or text for a total of 1,083 theory incidents or an average of .93 incidents per article. Articles dealing with topics from the humanities (e.g., information policy, history) had the highest rate of theory use with 1.81 incidents per article, followed by social science papers (e.g., information behavior, management) with .98 incidents per article and science articles (e.g., bibliometrics, information retrieval) with .75 theory incidents per article. These findings imply that differences exist in the use of theory in LIS that are associated with the broad disciplinary content of the research. These differences may arise from variant conceptions of and approaches to the use of theory in the research traditions of the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. It is suggested that the multidisciplinary background of LIS researchers provides a rich but still under-utilized opportunity for the use and development of theory within LIS.

    Abstract
    The recent explosion of community networks, such as Freenets, across North America has prompted the information and referral community to question whether community networks are providing, in part, a duplicate service; what the implications of their growth might be in terms of service delivery to the public; and whether their expansion might threaten the security of support for I&R agencies. Examines an aspect of the nascent rivalry between community networks and I&R agencies: how they differ in their control mechanisms and consequent management of community information. Suggests ways the 2 types of organizations can work together to provide the public with accurate and comprehensive community information
