[Siguse-l] SIG Use Discussion List

[Kyungwon Koh]

Hi, I am Kyungwon Koh, a doctoral candidate from Florida State University School of Library and Information Studies.

A theory that has impacted my research is Radical Change Theory, developed by Eliza T. Dresang and included in the book “Theories of Information Behavior”. The theory explains contemporary information resources and behaviors through the digital age concepts of Interactivity, Connectivity, and Access.

The theory of Radical Change drove the research questions of my dissertation study, and the study findings informed and further developed the original theory. The study results include the development of a typology of digital age youth information behavior, which are operationalizations of the theory's core concepts. In sum, I tried to demonstrate a dialectic relationship between information behavior theory and empirical research, by applying and further developing an existing, relatively new theory in the field.

I'll post my answer to the SIG USE Facebook page as well, and look forward to hearing other's work & theory use, too!

Best wishes,

Kyungwon
