Lin, Shin-jeng; Belkin, Nicholas J. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 2000
Discussion of information retrieval and information seeking behavior focuses on a multi-dimensional conceptual model called MISE (multiple information-seeking episodes). Identifies eight different reasons why people engage in multiple information-seeking episodes, characterizes them in terms of traits of Multiple Information Seeking Episode…
