Abstract

ABSTRACT This article proposes an interwoven three-part framework for conceptualizing and analyzing the role of infor-mation in human activities, melding the cognitive and affective domain of the individual, the collective domain of the social, and the domain of signification and communication practices, focusing on the ways in which indi-vidual characteristics, social context and interaction, and signification and representation work together to form information behavior. The article presents an overview of each of these three domains and discusses the ways in which they are intertwined. It argues that considering the three domains in relation to each other offers a holistic framework within which to consider the ways in which information – needs, behavior, creation, and use – depends simultaneously on all three. It concludes by offering a brief discussion of the implications of the framework for in-formation services, including (but not limited to) libraries. Keywords : Information Behavior, Information Seeking in Context, Semiotics, Hermeneutics

信息世界与解释实践:迈向领域的整合

摘要:本文提出了一个由三个部分组成的框架，将个人的认知和情感领域、社会的集体领域、意义和传播实践领域融合在一起，概念化和分析信息在人类活动中的作用，重点关注个人特征、社会语境和互动、意义和表征共同作用形成信息行为的方式。本文概述了这三个领域，并讨论了它们相互交织的方式。它认为，考虑这三个相互关联的领域提供了一个整体框架，在这个框架内，可以考虑信息的方式——需求、行为、创造和使用——同时依赖于这三个领域。最后简要讨论了该框架对信息服务的影响，包括(但不限于)图书馆。关键词:信息行为，语境中的信息寻找，符号学，解释学

期刊介绍： The Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice (JISTaP) is an international journal that aims at publishing original studies, review papers and brief communications on information science theory and practice. The journal provides an international forum for practical as well as theoretical research in the interdisciplinary areas of information science, such as information processing and management, knowledge organization, scholarly communication and bibliometrics. To foster scholarly communication among researchers and practitioners of library and information science around the globe, JISTaP offers a no-fee open access publishing venue where a team of dedicated editors, reviewers and staff members volunteer their services to ensure rapid dissemination and communication of scholarly works that make significant contributions. In a modern society, where information production and consumption grow at an astronomical rate, the science of information management, organization, and analysis is invaluable in effective utilization of information. The key objective of the journal is to foster research that can contribute to advancements and innovations in the theory and practice of information and library science so as to promote timely application of the findings from scientific investigations to everyday life. Recognizing the importance of the global perspective with understanding of region-specific issues, JISTaP encourages submissions of manuscripts that discuss global implications of regional findings as well as regional implications of global findings.
