[Siguse-l] Looking for articles on David Ellis's information seeking model

[Ramdeen, Sarah]

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know of any articles that contradict or are critical of David Ellis's information seeking behavior model from 1993?  I have found articles that support, test or build off of it, including later works by Ellis but I was looking for any works that might refute it or have contradictory findings.  I found an article by T.D. Wilson which places Ellis's model in context with earlier models including Wilson's own model (and I have to double check, but probably offers some criticism) but I could use a few more.

Thanks!
Sarah
