    Abstract
    This study used the methods of ethnography of communication to explore the information behavior in sense making of participants in the annual work planning of a unit of a public agency. To capture the dynamic time aspects od the work-planning task, the study continued over 3 annual iterations of this work-planning process. The term sense making is used to convey the participants' characterization of their information behavior. This article explores the sense making that took place from the point of view of time and timing. The analysis revealed broad patterns of repetitive action that structured the work-planning process and limited or focused future action. Data was repeatedly collected eraly in the annual process, requiring subsequent and repeated updating and verification. A computer database of project information focused data collection and progressing on details that were never used and neglected others that required independent data collection, processing, and display. Such findings suggest the role that time plays in capturing meaning from data that has a time value. Understanding of the role of time suggests some possible approaches for improving information management and the design of information systems

    Abstract
    Reports on a study of children's intentions, purposes, search terms, strategies, successes and breakdowns in accessing fiction. Data was gathered using naturalistic methods of persistent, intensive observation and questioning with children in several school library media centres in the USA, including 997 OPAC transactions. Analyzes the data and highlights aspects of the broader context of the system which may help in development of mechanisms for electronic access

    Abstract
    Develops an analytical framework to support the analysis of conversation in information seeking contexts. It brings together linguistic and sociolinguistic issues which serve as viewpoints for rxploring how information seeking conversations differ from casual conversations and conversations in restricted conversational domains (e.g. teacher-student, and physician-patient). A sample of 9 conversations from 2 information seeking contexts (i.e. school library media centre, and public library) is used to test the utility of the framework and explore possible characteristics of information seeking conversations. The findings support the utility of the framework for various purposes including: training of information specialists, feedback on their performance, design of human computer dialogues, eliciting of decision making processes during information seeking, and support for natural language processing
