Studenters väg till den vetenskapliga artikeln : en studie av sjuksköterskestudenters informationssökning. / Students’ path to the scientific article : a study of nursing students’ information seeking.Dahlström, Eva, Wikstrand, Maria January 2009 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to increased knowledge concerning students’ information seeking in an electronic environment. Using a qualitative approach; focus groups interviews, a total of nine nursing students were interviewed in two groups. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed with an analysis tool based upon Lucy Kuntz’s, Gary Marchionini’s and Carol C Kuhlthau’s models of the information seeking process. The analysis tool also takes into consideration the six factors Marchionini believes influence the individual in the process and directly affect it. The results show that the students’ information seeking is characterized by uncertainty and to some extent ignorance. Difficulties may arise throughout the process, beginning with the initial phrasing of the search query, even unto the retrieval of the information. The information seeking is influenced by the fact that the students’ almost exclusively use material they can access in full text directly. Furthermore the students do not readily search numerous databases. The search patterns within the subject itself and the teachers’ attitudes towards information seeking have a major impact on the students’ search behaviour. An important mission for the libraries in this context is to offer students adequate education on how to search for information. In order to achieve this, an extended and improved collaboration between libraries and teachers is necessary.

Gaming och informationsanvändning : En informationsvetenskaplig studie av tv-spel och gamersWahlgren, Evelina January 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine video games, gamers and gaming from an information science perspective. The purpose of the study is partly to study video games as a type of information system and partly to study gamers information use, information seeking and also the experience of gaming. A selection of five games have been analysed using a topology for video game analysis created by Espen Aarseth. A quantitative investigation has also been made, in the form of a web survey distributed through four Swedish online forums, the result of which was analysed using Carol Collier Kuhlthaus model of the information seeking process. The study showed that video games can partly be understood as information systems with built in obstacles, uncertainty and supportive structures. It also showed that gamers are largely independent in their game related information seeking and information use, but that they are also accustomed to turning to informal mediatiors for help. Lastly, the study showed that some similarities can be found in the cogntive and affective experiences of the information seeking process and the gaming experience respectively. These findings may serve as a starting point for further research of how gaming may support the individual's information seeking process, as well as their understanding of the process and the stages involved.

Informationssökning på sjukhusbibliotek : Bibliotekariers utmaningar och upplevelse av informationssökningsprocessen / Information seeking in hospital libraries : Librarians’ challenges and experience of the information seeking processMalm, Agnes January 2023 (has links)
Background: Scientific information is a central part of the evidence-based care (Rosenberg & Donald, 1995). Hospital libraries have opportunity to contribute to the clinical care, for example by offering information retrieval on behalf of healthcare staff. The aim of this study was to describe the information search process in hospital libraries in Sweden. This was made by identifying which components are included in the process and which aspects the librarians consider to be meaningful or challenging in the process. As a theoretical starting point for data collection and analysis, Ingwersen's model for interactions in the IR-process (Ingwersen, 1996) and Ingwersen and Wormell's description of important steps in a mediated information search process (Ingwersen & Wormell, 1990) were used. A questionnaire was sent to all managers of the hospital libraries in Sweden for further distribution to the librarians who worked in the libraries. 50 librarians responded to the survey. The study showed that the most important components in the information search process for the librarians that participated in this study were the user's request question, dialogue with the user and knowledge of databases' search and indexing rules. The biggest challenge was interpreting the user's question. The study provides an insight into the work of hospital librarians, which for example can increase the users’ awareness around the formulation of question and problem area when ordering information searches.
