In their capacity as authors of professional papers, only few subjects considered print and electronic publishing to be equal. Two user types have been derived from the data analysis. Type S manifests pragmatic ways of information seeking and appreciates the low cost and speed of electronic publishing. Type A is characterised by analytic, in\u2010depth information processing, stressing the prestige and review process of print publishing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>Quantitative methods can form a starting\u2010point for typologies of human information behaviour. Additional qualitative methods, especially interviews with students, focus groups and observations, are planned for future research into modelling of users' information behaviour.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>Based on the analysis, two information\u2010seeking styles have been identified: strategic and analytic. Differences between the search styles suggest that systems designers, knowledge managers and libraries should be open to the creative use and representation of electronic information, taking into account different information behaviours.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/14684520510598020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,2]],"date-time":"2005-05-02T23:28:51Z","timestamp":1115076531000},"page":"139-156","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Library users in human information behaviour"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Jela","family":"Steinerov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jaroslav","family":"\u0160u\u0161ol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021620000977100_b1","unstructured":"Albrechtsen, H. and Jacob, E.K.
