Information activities on the Internet in everyday life

In this article eight forms of information activities are suggested to describe a model of information behaviour in non-work everyday life. This model builds on literature reviews and data from 10 cases of information users. Findings from applying the model are also presented and their implications discussed. The conclusion states that the Internet takes the role of a complementary information system in everyday life, side by side with existing information systems.
