Popis:	In this article the authors test the assumption that different patterns of information-seeking behavior have different determinants. It is postulated that a search for specific (instant) information in a certain domain is more problem-guided, while information-seeking with a more routine character is more interest-guided. These propositions were tested in an evaluation study of a health information device for primary schools and day-care centers in Rotterdam and surrounding areas. This information device, the guidebook 'Youth and Health', has been developed with the aim to inform teachers how to deal with all the possible health problems of children which may occur at school. Mail questionnaires were sent to all involved schools and day-care centers. The results indicate clear evidence for the foregoing propositions.
