    Abstract
    This paper presents an evolving framework for human information behaviour, including information exploration, seeking, filtering, use and dissemination. It is based on empirical studies of human information behaviour in a variety of settings (Iivonen & Sonnenwald, 1998; Sonnenwald, 1993, 1995, 1996) and theories from a variety of research traditions, including information science, communication, sociology and psychology that inform our understanding of human information behaviour. I begin formulating the framework by discussing fundamental concepts, such as context, situation and social networks. Building on these concepts, I propose a series of propositions that strive to elucidate the framework. Key ideas in the framework include the introduction of the role of social networks in information exploration, and the concept of an `information horizon' in which we can act to explore information.

    Abstract
    Part of an issue devoted to communication networks and network analysis. Demonstrates the applicability of the network concept for the description of both cognitive and social processes. Networks are a set of interrelated nodes, classified according to the characteristics of the nodes and the relationships among them. Historically they have been categorized as social networks, when the nodes were specified as individuals or higher level systems; cognitve or neural networks, when the nodes were considers words; symbols of any other representation; and communication networks, when the realtionships among the nodes involved the transfer of information rather than affect, power or social prestige. Attempts to intergarte these perspectives

    Abstract
    Examines whether dynamic social impact theory (DSIT) applies to interpersonal comminication via networked computers. Summarizes results of a series of experimental tests of DSIT in which participants engaged in discussions over e-mail. Discusses the nature of social space in computer networks and draws implications of DSIT for computer-mediated communication in a democratic society

    Abstract
    Discusses the use of new information technology in social science libraries, ranging from extensive use of CD-ROMs and CD-ROM networks, development of databases and production of CD-ROM databases; and Internet and WWW. Considers the likely impact of these developments on the role of librarians and information professionals. Reviews the basic competencies for fulfilling these new roles and delineates certain new activities for social science librarians and information workers

    Abstract
    Describes a study of the use of electronic networks by scientists and engineers. The study of network use was conducted in order to make policy recommendations for the proposed Natioanl Research and Education Network (NREN) and combines traditional social science empirical methods with policy analysis. Argues that qualitative techniwues, such as semi-structured interviews and focus groups, provide data important to the development of user-based policies and that social and behavioural issues must be given more attention ny network policy makers

    Abstract
    Seeks to describe the social networks, or invisible colleges, that make up a scientific speciality, in terms of mathematically precise sets generated by document citations and accessible through the Social Science Citation Index. The document and author sets that encompass a scientific specialty are the basis for some interdependent citation matrices. The method of construction of these sets and matrices is illustrated through an application to the literature on invisible colleges

    Abstract
    As a result of the challenges of information processing as a 'tool science of the mind', interesting prospects are opening up for the social sciences in the fields of increasing user orientation, discovery of semantics in data and potential uses of computer networks. Such methodological trends are therefore becoming increasingly important which on the one hand take account of the complexity of social processes - in science as well - and on the other hand promote the formulation of theories. This paper will describe the state of social sciences, in particular sociology, in concrete terms and will examine potential solutions to problems of epistemology and research practice by means of specific examples

    Abstract
    Attempts to synthesize the findings of American writers of disparate viewpoints on the social phenomena of virtual environments. Travel in virtual communities is always accompanied by tension between the real and the virtual. By observing user behaviour, the authors under review are attempting to discover what happens on networks; how a community can form from a database; how rules, conventions and new cultures are formed; and the effects of virtual environments on personality

    Abstract
    Discusses access to the Internet. Although the number of Internet users has increased since 1993, the technology is still unavailable to many. High income, highly educated people are more easily able to access new media than those who are less well off. Such a knowledge gap may contribute more to social disparity in future. To ensure that most people have access to computer networks, future national policy should move from universal service to universal access. Network policy should offer not only to make networks available to all but also to ansure people's ability to access the content

    Abstract
    Gives a background to the development of community networks giving an outline of the current situation. Describes the information and services found on the networks, the connection the systems use, who starts and runs the systems and their sources of funding. Presents a range of current models describing HAWAII FYI, National Capital FreeNEt. Ottawa, Wellington City Council's Community Computer Network, New Zealand, and Big Sky Telegraphy, Dilton, Montana, and outlining other models. Examines social aspects of the systems and looks to the future of these systems in the light of changing technology

    Abstract
    The research reported here was conducted throughout 1998 under the auspices of the Community Networking Initiative (CNI), which seeks to increase participation of low-income, primarily African American, residents in a local community computer network. CNI project aims include analysis of information needs and exchange at the local level, delivery of computers and training to teens and adults, provision of technical assistance to community-based organizations, and redesign of Prairienet, the local community computer network, to make it a better tool for bridging the digital divide between low- and higher-income users. To analyze community information needs and exchange patterns--along with computing practices--data were gathered via in-depth household interviews, focus groups, written questionnaires, and a follow-up telephone interview that surveyed adult trainees about their use of equipment six months after they had completed their CNI training and received a computer for their household. In this paper, we focus on reporting and discussing results related to information exchange practices. We found that word-of-mouth exchanges with people in one's close social circle and contacts with community organizations appear to be the most important mechanisms for accessing and exchanging information about community activities and resources. Informal social networks also figured prominently in the exchange of information and support related to the CNI project itself. Based on our study results, the CNI project is seeking ways to introduce training and support programs that capitalize on existing social networks and are contextualized to community information needs and interests
