The Internet has simplified the way people access information, but at the same time the context of accessing information has become complex and people need to discern information.

In the past, people's access to information was mainly through libraries and mass media.

Objective information has value and people tend to choose the first satisfactory solution rather than the best one.

Not more information is better, people prefer to choose information that they can interpret and understand. People usually use their own subjective consciousness to decide on the interpretation of information.

A typical formal source is the printed word - a textbook, encyclopaedia or daily newspaper - but it may also be the word of a recognized expert on a subject. Informal sources tend to be friends, colleagues, and family.

Because human behavior itself is not entirely rational or uniform, it is determined by a variety of social circumstances.

The purpose of advertising is to remind consumers of the existence of that product and to provide persuasive information about it. 

There are three common anomalies in the information-seeking process: First, the mysterious influence we call "taste" has a powerful role in the decision-making process. Second, personal connections have a powerful influence, whether they compel agreement (e.g., the advice of a friend or loved one) or disagreement (an overbearing salesperson). Depending on basic human emotions, these two influences can overwhelm any collection of facts, no matter how large or persuasive. Third, affluence and education can make a big difference in the sources of information people have access to and their propensity to pay attention to that information. 

People can access information by news broadcasts, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, social media, and many personal conversations.

It is important to maintain continuity of information, to carefully record any relevant data, and to share information freely among team members. 

The tendency to avoid certain information until you are ready to process it is balanced by a curiosity fueled by deep feelings. Information satisfies some emotional need to be reassured, to be comforted, to connect with others. 

In all cases, searchers try to reduce their cognitive load by abandoning certain types of information, taking shortcuts to a state of satisfaction or decision. 
Most search results, although incomplete and possibly even leading to failure, are sufficient to satisfy the searcher's needs at the time, a behavior known as satisficing. 

Time pressure is also an important influencing factor in determining people's access to information.

Other social factors may include the social institutions provided by the state;
Political factors, where dictators may prevent people from accessing information sources, while true democracies allow access to information and encourage freedom of expression. 

Today, the Internet is an important part of the global information infrastructure, but network access varies greatly from country to country, and the "digital divide," or inequality within and between countries .

The most common forms of belief systems are religious, political, and philosophical, and it is clear that our belief systems may influence our attitudes toward information, our judgments about what is valid information in a given situation, and our attitudes toward misinformation and disinformation. 
Sources of information vary in their degree of completeness, complexity and reliability, and it may be difficult for a person to determine this. For security purposes, some information sources (e.g., commercial news sources) may require registration and passwords, which may be a deterrent to those who do not wish to reveal the information they are searching for. 

Information sources are subject to the political economy of society, but these influences are felt indirectly through the media by information users who may be unaware of the biases associated with, for example, a newspaper's ideological stance, or other factors that may influence journal editors' choices. ]]> 2022-01-24 17:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/YimengE/Bookmarks/wish/2009342893 Fulton YimengE https://padlet.com/YimengE/Bookmarks/wish/2019597823 Information seeking occurs when an information problem is difficult or intractable for an individual to solve. It is not defined by traditional groupings, but rather people from different backgrounds participate for various reasons. Urban explorers are mostly secretive, using code or nicknames even when posting photos on the web then deleting them shortly after. And while the purpose of urban exploration is considered by some to be discovery, by some to be adventure, and just as some locations become safe, people begin to complain and lose enthusiasm. Most urban explorers are there to preserve the sites they explore, or to document history and demonstrate photographic techniques.

Most of them were introduced to motorsports by family and friends. Enthusiasts collect information about motorsports such as photos, club information, they also share their information mainly through email (69%) and Facebook (49%) , Enthusiasts need information about their sport and this creates their information needs. 
EEnthusiasts share, report and discuss their race experiences with friends. Use different sources of information to communicate with family.
HThey use a variety of information sources, more often electronically than on paper. They rely heavily on Internet-based sources: first, their club's website; second, the CAMS website; third, the Google search engine. They also know which information source they need to choose based on their Information needs. 

* Information seeking generally have shifted from traditional paper-based sources to more electronic and web-based sources. Social media and web technologies, text messaging and email have made it easier, faster, and more immediate for people to access information.

People always believe that they can corroborate their beliefs and ignore the evidence.
When people are very detailed in their questionnaires, fewer people usually give feedback. If we want to find really detailed usage, we can take a close look at a small number of people.
People's thoughts are always changing so it is important to conduct another statistical test at regular intervals. And there is the problem of surveyors having different ideas over time.
Information seeking research is diverse and different research methods are used for different studies. The web-based questionnaires create challenges to the confidentiality of the research. And there will be different research methods for different kinds of surveys.

For example, engineers are influenced by different job functions, disciplines, career stages, etc. Accessibility of information, ease of use of information, and technical quality all influence the use of information. Also engineers will be informed by personal experience, textbooks and technical reports as sources of information while doctors are not the same. Different physicians have different sources of information needs, and in the past most physicians only had paper-based materials for information access, with high demands on their time, so these barriers, combined with massive information overload, undermine the ability of physicians to keep up with new developments in the field. Reliability, comprehensiveness, timeliness and cost are also factors that physicians consider when accessing information.

During a crisis people mostly trust people they know and trust or the people who have authoritative knowledge. While the government does not communicate openly and does not provide timely information so that people's trust in the government decreases.
I think during any crisis, such as the current Covid, people gather as much information as possible because they are afraid of the unknown things, but too many information elements make it difficult for people to have a unified standard of all the informations they got. The government usually chooses not to inform or reduce the negative coverage of the crisis in order to keep the whole society stable, but this behavior will make people deepen their distrust of the government and fear of the crisis.

In each room there was a projector showing the use of each room in the history and the life of the people at that time. Some of the rooms were decorated in the style of the past, the marks on the walls and floors made it possible to imagine what life was like back then. It was a very vivid tour, especially when old photos and videos were shown, there was a feeling of time and space intersecting. And the mottled walls and handrails are also full of signs of age.
And about the navigator, first of all, at the beginning of the visit, he asked us to put the phone to silent mode, so that we could better immerse ourselves in this historical visitation. In each room, he explained and used the traces to guess the use in the past life.]]> 2022-03-22 13:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/YimengE/Bookmarks/wish/2107527082 Ford YimengE https://padlet.com/YimengE/Bookmarks/wish/2115683776 In past information sharing and group discussions, people prefer to share each person's own information, which may generate new views, but recommendation systems are different from this information behavior. Recommender systems recommend knowledge and information behaviors that you don't have.
The "data" will make sense to the people who need them.
People will selectively accept information because of their fears and anxieties.

There are different interpretations of people's behavior in different contexts. Rights are supposed to be equally distributed in an egalitarian group. Social action is not something we construct with beliefs and rules, but is generated through cultural and linguistic behaviors. In different positions, people take different positions. Positions are influenced by rights, obligations and perceptions of society.

Through the continuous innovation of technology, to achieve people can WFH. Compared with the traditional office work, people may have less communication, including the use of synchronous communication such as telephone, video, etc., but increased the use of asynchronous communication such as email. However, the data shows that people's collaboration has been decreasing after a long period of WFH, and the interaction between different teams is decreasing which is not good for the long-term development of the company. And WFH increases the working hours of employees because of the use of more asynchronous communication. And WFH does not really have a big impact on the work of backend software developers, while it has a big impact on the work of individual contributors, managers i.e. their direct and other work that depends on instant messaging.(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-021-01196-4?#Sec2)
So how the working model will evolve in the future is what we need to explore. Many people's jobs have been converted to permanent online, but this is not very friendly to new staff joining. They will not have more opportunities to interact with people.

This semester's course has allowed for a systematic understanding of human information behavior. Also by reading the weekly related literature, one could understand more about the different states of people in different occupations and generations when they engage in information seeking. Moreover, some literature will describe groups that are not accessible in daily life, such as urban explorers, etc. This class gives us more opportunities to learn about groups that are not common but exist in our daily lives.

Everyone became Seminar Leader once, which allowed us to strengthen our understanding of the literature and our ability to generalize, while helping us to practice our leading skills. And when we are Tech Angels, it helped us to collaborate as a team and help everyone to solve technical problems together.

When we had Guest Speakers, it helped us to enhance our understanding of the content of the article more deeply. Usually Guest Speakers are people who have been working in the professional field for many years, and these classes gave us the opportunity to talk with professional lecturers and deepen our understanding of our respective research fields.

This class is more about interacting with people and being able to listen to each person's understanding of the article in relation to their own experience. It was possible to interact with people and the instructor was friendly and always eager to help us with difficulties in our reports or daily study tasks.
