Characterizing environmental information users
Lorraine F. Normore · Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology · 2010
Abstract The information seeking and use characteristics of three groups of individuals interested in environmental information are described using a data consolidation technique known in the human‐computer interaction field as “persona”. These user archetypes show differences in the information sources sought, information behaviors shown, and in the information products generated by researchers, environmental educators, and members of the public involved in the environmental movement.
