    Abstract
    This paper presents the initial stages of the development of a three-dimensional model as a theoretical framework for conceptualizing and exploring interactive information retrieval (IR) with an information seeking context. The model, displayed in Figure 1, includes a Plane of Judgment within a Plane of Interaction within a Plane of Time. The Plane of Judgment includes levels and regions of relevance judgments, and other user judgments during interactive IR, e.g., magnitude or strategy feedback, tactics, search strategies, or search terms. The Plane of Judgment exists within a Plane of Interaction. The Plane of Interaction consists of interactive IR models, including Ingwersen (1992, 1996), Belkin, Cool, Stein and Theil (1995), and Saracevic (1996b, 1997). The Plane of Interaction includes movement or shifts within interactions or search episodes, e.g., tactics, information problem, strategies, terms, feedback, goal states, or uncertainty. IR interactions that occur within a Plane of Interaction exist within a Plane of Time. The Plane of Time includes users' information seeking stages, represented in the model by Kuhlthau's Information Search Process Model (1993) and users' successive searches over time related to the same or evolving information problem (Spink, 1996). The three-dimensional model is a framework for the development of theoretical and empirical research to: 1. Integrate interactive IR research within information-seeking context 2. Explore users' interactive IR episodes within their changing information-seeking contexts 3. Examine relevance judgments within users' information seeking processes 4. Broaden relevance research to include the concurrent exploration of relevance judgment level, region and time

    Abstract
    School library media programmes need to be restructured to serve the information age school. The central goal underlying this restructuring is to instil in students a sense of the process of learning from a variety of sources of information. Presents a model of the information search process (ISP) which can serve as a guide for designing instructional programmes. ISP consists of 6 stages: initiation, selection, exploration, formulation, collection, and presentation. Students experience the ISP holistically with an interplay of thoughts, feelings, and actions. Strategies for implementing the ISP approach to the development of informatio literacy are recommended. The school library, as the information centre of the information age school, is the laboratory for learning essential abilities for living in the information society

    Abstract
    The article discusses the user's perspective of information seeking. A model of the information search process is presented derived from a series of five studies investigating common experiences of users in information seeking situations. The cognitive and affective aspects of the process of information suggest a gap between the user's natural process of information use and the information system and intermediaries' traditional patterns of information provision

    Abstract
    Considers the role of the information professional as intermediary in an environment where information systems provide direct access to the end user. Introduces the concept of a zone of intervention based on Vygotsky's concept of the zone of proximal development. The zone of intervention is that area in which an information user can do with advice and assistance. Intervention within this zone enables the user to move along in the information search process. Intervention outside this zone is inefficient and unnecessary. The complexity of the task, level of uncertainty, and stage in the information search process influence the zone intervention. Draws examples from longitudinal case studies of early career professionals. Discusses implications for applying the zone of intervention as an underlying concept for user-centred library and information services

    Abstract
    More complex contexts of information seeking require extensive thinking that involves an intellectual leap which carries the user `beyond the information given' (Bruner, 1973) to the construction of something `new'. According to Arnheim (1969) such thinking is directly affected by one's visual perception of the world and he argues that the most productive thinking results from this imagery. The application of visual or mental imagery to the relationships and structure in information seeking situations may be thought of as a constructive strategy for making meaning. This paper explores the use of mental imagery in the constructive process of information seeking. For the individual, the meaning of information is not inherent in the information itself but in his or her perception of it and how it fits into an image of the world or personal construct system (Boulding, 1961; Kelly, 1963). The use of imagery may facilitate a user's mental image of information and its relation to previously acquired knowledge and, thus, also facilitate new construction during the information seeking process. Mental imagery has been found to play an important role in creativity and problem solving. Shepard (1978) argues that some of the most creative thoughts and solutions which humans devise are those which are not confined to expression within linear verbal communication but rather spring from mental imagery that embraces a spatial approach to problem solving. Mental imagery is more concrete and visually constructive in nature than verbal methods of problem solving. This paper explores the role of imagery in the constructive tasks of problem solving and learning in the information seeking process.
