Abstract - Presents an outline of models of information seeking and other aspects of information behaviour, showing the relationship between communication and information behaviour in general with information seeking and information searching in information retrieval systems. It is suggested that these models address issues at various levels of information behaviour and that they can be related by envisaging a 'nesting' of models. It is also suggested that, within both information seeking research and information searching research, alternative models address similar issues in related ways and that the models are complementary rather than conflicting. Finally, an alternative, problem-solving model is presented, which, it is suggested, provides a basis for relating the models in appropriate research strategies.

Abstract - In this paper future trends regarding Web-based interaction patterns are identified and put into the context of currently dominating communication models. The resulting evolution model is employed to illustrate potential approaches to developing Web Information Systems (WIS) matching the specific requirements and characteristics of each evolutionary stage. Cybernetic feedback loops are introduced to explain suitable WIS development approaches with an emphasis on communication and are applied to derive and evaluate the attributes of such approaches.

Abstract - Numerous studies about the Internet have already been conducted or are in the process of being conducted. However, after several years there still is no clear understanding of what form Web-based or on-line communication should take to make it really valuable to the consumer. The contribution of this article is its attempt to address the current contents of Web-based communication and to provide some ideas with regard to the shortcomings in this regard. It addresses the impact of the Internet on the South African society, the Internet as a new communication medium as well as its effect on organisational communication. It also argues that an on-line presence is no longer enough and that online customers want more value in terms of their online experience.

Comments:
I did this task after I have submitted my assignment so I thought of another concept which I did not pick in the concept assignment to broaden my knowledge on the subject.
First I did a Google and Copernic searches and using bookmark buddy I bookmarked both the search results sites. Then as I went through the hits(links) I bookmarked the links I wanted. After finding three suitable URLs which I saved in my Bookmark Buddy programme I reopened the links and copy and pasted the relevant sections into my blog.

I have learnt lots of useful soft wares or tools in this module which I could use in all my other subjects and work purposes as well. Up until this module I print every single articles or journal I find on the web to reference for my assignments. But moving forward I guess I am going to work in a paperless form where I save anything and everything I want in the Bookmark Buddy programme.
