Abstract The mobile information behavior of Warner Pacific University students was studied using survey questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and group-based exercises through the lens of several common information theories and models. As ownership of connected devices became nearly ubiquitous, students used the Internet more than the library. Students built digital networks to connect with friends or classmates. The Internet was the students' primary information source, since using Google was a daily lifestyle habit while the library was totally new and unfamiliar territory. Comparison of the students' information search processes (ISPs) with Kuhlthau's ISP diagram revealed that the students searching was idiosyncratic and unpredictable, and they only adopted systematic search protocols when these were imposed on them. Chatman's theory of information poverty was useful as it revealed that the students' perception of information deprivation cut across all socio-economic groups.

华纳太平洋大学学生移动信息行为

摘要 通过调查问卷、深度访谈和小组练习，通过几种常见的信息理论和模型，研究了华纳太平洋大学学生的移动信息行为。随着连接设备的所有权变得几乎无处不在，学生使用互联网的次数超过了图书馆。学生建立数字网络与朋友或同学联系。互联网是学生的主要信息来源，因为使用谷歌是一种日常生活习惯，而图书馆是全新的、陌生的领域。将学生的信息搜索过程 (ISP) 与 Kuhlthau 的 ISP 图进行比较显示，学生的搜索具有特殊性和不可预测性，并且只有在强加给他们时才采用系统的搜索协议。查特曼'
