Nigel Ford argues that new understandings of information behaviour research may help maximise the quality and effectiveness of the way information is presented, sought, discovered, evaluated and used. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book introduces the key concepts, issues and themes of information behaviour, illustrates them using key research studies, and provides a clear path through the complex maze of theories and models. The book is structured to move from the basics to the more complex and employs the pedagogical device of \"THINK\" boxes which invite the reader to think about concepts as they are introduced in order to consolidate their understanding before moving on. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783302879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783302871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Facet Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Nigel Ford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440031150335,"sku":"9781783302871","price":156.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e49e0fa9-95f5-4a8c-ba0a-4ec8e9fbbf11.jpg?v=1777180142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-information-behaviour-nigel-ford-9781783302871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
