Title: A solid overview of theories of information behavior
Review: I read about a third of this book for my Intro to Information Behavior class in my MLIS program. Although the sheer number of theories/paradigms/whatevers was overwhelming at first, and the information in the introductory chapters was debatable and at times clear as mud, I quickly came to appreciate this book.Each of the 70+ chapters is a 1 - 3 page summary of a particular IB theory. These summaries are extremely helpful for beginning MLIS students who need a quick explanation of a theory mentioned in class, or an overview of a theory they read about a few weeks ago but can't quite remember, or who just want to browse through some more IB theories.
