A Cognitive Framework for Human Information Behavior: The Place of Metaphor in Human Information Organizing Behavior

Human information behavior (HIB) is a way of broadening the perspective when looking at the nexus between the information user and the information he or she is purposively or non-purposively seeking, for both conscious and unconscious reasons, wherever it may be found (for other HIB definitions, cf. also Case, 2002; Wilson, 2000). HIB includes several sub-sections, divisions, or facets, which we will only list here (the HIB sub-sections are fully discussed elsewhere in this volume, Spink, Park, & Cole, 2005; cf. also, Spink & Cole, in press), including:
