[NORSLIS] "Theory in Information Behaviour Research"

[Nils Pharo]

It is also available in other formats, including Epub and HTML, although it originally (why, one might ask) was only available in the proprietary IOS format ... (cf http://info-research.blogspot.no/2013/07/publishing-e-book.html)

Subject: [NORSLIS] "Theory in Information Behaviour Research"

Dear colleagues,

I´m sending information about a new theory book, please see below.

Best regards, Ágústa Pálsdóttir.

-------------------------------------

"Theory in Information Behaviour Research", edited by T.D. Wilson, will be published in the Apple iBook Store later this month.  This e-book, priced at $9.99 consists of the following chapters:

Activity theory, by Tom Wilson; Critical theory, by Gerald Benoit; Personal construct theory, by Rebecca Reynolds; Personality theory, by Jannica Heinstrom; Practice theory, by Andrew Cox; Social cognitive theory, by Agusta Palsdottir; Social phenomenology, by Tom Wilson and Reijo Savolainen; and Theoretical approaches in Russia and Eastern Europe, by Elena Maceviciute.

The authors have collectively constituted a peer review group, each reading and commenting on the submissions from the others.

PhD students, beginning their review of the subject and searching for an appropriate theoretical framework, will find this book useful, as will Master's students beginning their preparatory work for the dissertation.  Practitioners too, will find the work useful in assessing the value of research of interest to them and, finally, those teaching research methods, especially at advanced level, will find the book a useful source of ideas for their work.

"Theory in Information Behaviour Research" is only available as an e-book, readable on any IOS device - iPad, iPad Mini, iPhone or iPod Touch.  When the next Mac operating system is launched, later this year, the iBook format will also be readable on any iMac or Macbook.
