Doubt regarding Question no. 1 of Paper III of UGC NET June 2012

Respect Members

A commendable job has been done by Mr. Saini, who has applied the concept of collective intelligence in his analysis. Mr. Saini please accept my gratitude and profound reverence.

I have some reservation regarding the question no. 1 of paper III.

The question was related to Information seeking model and majority of us (including me) have either opted option 1 (Ellis) or Option 4 (Wilson). However, if we try to recall this question, it enquired about person whose model include stages like : initiation, selection, Exploration etc.

And unfortunately he is neither of them them. And as per documents he is Kuhlthau (i.e., either option 2  or 3).

This is my observation, which may or may not be correct.

Feedback shall be appreciated.

You are right sir..
As per the documents Kulthau has recognized different stages like initation, exploration etc.. As majority of us had selected either Ellis or Wilson .. I have also selected Wilson.

Dear friend,

above mentioned doubt the answer would be "A" "Ellis model"

for clarification see below link

Ellis model
We will discuss Ellis's (1989; Ellis, et al., 1993) and Ingwersen's (1996) frameworks. These are used and discussed here as examples only and we make no claims about their merits with respect to the research tasks for which they were originally intended.

Ellis's elaboration of the different behaviours involved in information seeking consists of six features. Ellis makes no claims to the effect that the different behaviours constitute a single set of stages; indeed, he uses the term 'features' rather than 'stages'. These features are named and defined below:

Starting: the means employed by the user to begin seeking information, for example, asking some knowledgeable colleague;
Chaining: following footnotes and citations in known material or 'forward' chaining from known items through citation indexes;
Browsing: 'semi-directed or semi-structured searching' (Ellis, 1989: 187);
Differentiating: using known differences in information sources as a way of filtering the amount of information obtained;
Monitoring: keeping up-to-date or current awareness searching;
Extracting: selectively identifying relevant material in an information source;
Verifying: checking the accuracy of information;
Ending: which may be defined as 'tying up loose ends' through a final search.

The strength of Ellis's model is that it is based on empirical research and has been tested in subsequent studies, most recently in the context of an engineering company (Ellis & Haugan, 1997).

Of the features, Ellis (1989: 178) notes that, '...the detailed interrelation or interaction of the features in any individual information seeking pattern will depend on the unique circumstances of the information seeking activities of the person concerned at that particular point in time'. Wilson (1999) proposes how these features may relate to each other temporally, providing a partial order; see Figure 1.
