- Abstract
- This entry outlines the development of models of information behavior. The concept of a model is defined and the different types of model are identified. Models of information behavior are presented within a typology of descriptive model, decision-based models, and causal models. It is suggested that, in research terms, a movement from descriptive models to causal models is needed if theory development is to take place in the field.
