The article presents a qualitative user study exploring information behaviour of graduate students. The study is conceptually based on Brenda Dervin's Sense-Making Methodology. The information behaviour is conceptualised as a process. The author conducted 13 interviews using the time-line micro moment interview technique. Data were transcribed and then condensed using the ATLAS/ti program for qualitative analysis. The basic approach to the analysis was to compare the moments of sense making instances within the situation of the same actor and also a comparison of moments across situations of differentactors. The characteristics of actors' situations was described. The most intensive information activity of graduate students was found during the completion of their studies. The proposed model consisted of three successive types of gaps: topic selection gap, topic ignorance gap and literature collecting gap. The article also presents findings about the process of writing and information habits. Članek predstavlja kvalitativno uporabniško študijo informacijskega ravnanja podiplomskih študentov. Kot teoretska zasnova je bila uporabljena metodologija ustvarjanja smisla Brende Dervin, ki koncipira informacijsko ravnanje kot proces. Avtor je opravil 13 intervjujev po metodi časovnega poteka mikro trenutkov. Po transkripciji je sledila kondenzacija podatkov s pomočjo računalniškega programa za kvalitativno analizo ATLAS/ti. Analiza je potekala kot primerjava momentov instanc ustvarjanja smisla v situaciji posamičnega akterja in med situacijami različnih akterjev. Predstavljene so značilnosti celotnih situacij akterjev. Študenti se najbolj angažirajo pri iskanju in uporabi informacij ob samostojni izdelavi seminarske, magistrske ali doktorske naloge. Predlagani model sestoji iz treh zaporednih tipov vrzeli: vrzeli izbire teme, vrzeli nepoznavanja področja in vrzeli zbiranja literature. Tematiziran je tudi proces pisanja in informacijske navade. |
