This blog began as an educational project created in partial fulfillment of a grade for 610:510 at SCILS at Rutgers University, along with responses to readings about humans gathering information and the studies that have been done. There are also jottings and links to major journals or articles or current feed to good literature and relevant writing today.

Definitions and Theories
Human Information Behavior .... hmmmm. If HIB is a field or respected discipline, then what is its primary journal, who is its primary founder(s), what are its body of beliefs and theories, agreed-upon definitions? When human information behaviorists use the word context, what do they mean? constructivist? is it taken from Foucault? or from some other theorist? I need my OED. Where is the Handbook of HIB? What is the most respected book in the field? The most respected journal?
