A Tentative Analysis on Triggering Contextual Factors of Cooperative Information Search Behavior——Based on the Context of Failure in Individual Information Search Among College Students

  

Abstract:

The objection of this paper is to explore the context factors of trigging collaborative information search behavior from the perspection of the reparative strategy after failure of personal information search. First,an influence factor model of reparative strategy after failure of personal  information search is built. Then,According to the horizon of information source, distribution of search strategies, and extent of search  Strategies,a data analysis is made. The correlation among reparative strategy, types of search failure, categories of information source horizons, the degree of how urgent time is and the level of importance  of information are focused studied. This work lays the foundation  for further research on collaborative information search behavior.

Keywords: Information search failure, Information source horizon, Collaborative information search
