Resumo: | The information seeking behaviour of the users of Internet access centres that are located in two organizations in a town in the interior of the state of Sâo Paulo was studied. These organizations promote free internet access to the community, thereby contributing to the process of digial inclusion. The analysis of the users´ information searching behaviour sought to identify what global search strategy the users used, including search syntax and semantics, information sources and for what the Internet was used. Sixty-one questionnaires with open and closed questions were applied, and the results point to the fact that the users have little familiarity with the Internet, that they carry out one to two searches on average, and that they use few terms in the formulation of the search expression, despite retrieving the information that they require. |

A análise do comportamento de busca de informação dos usuários visou identificar a estratégia global de busca empregada, compreendendo a utilização da sintaxe e semântica de busca, as fontes de informação e os usos da Internet. Foram aplicados 61 questionários com perguntas fechadas e abertas e os resultados permitem afirmar que os usuários possuem pouca familiaridade com a Internet, efetuam em média 1 a 2 buscas e empregam poucos termos na formulação da expressão de busca, ainda que recuperem as informações que necessitam.Departamento de Ciência da Informação – UFSC2008-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/article/view/1518-2924.2008v13n25p15610.5007/1518-2924.2008v13n25p156Encontros Bibli: revista eletrônica de biblioteconomia e ciência da informação; Vol. 13 No. 25 (2008); 156-173Encontros Bibli: revista electrónica de bibliotecología y ciencias de la información.; Vol. 13 Núm. 25 (2008); 156-173Encontros Bibli: revista eletrônica de biblioteconomia e ciência da informação; v. 13 n. 25 (2008); 156-1731518-2924reponame:Encontros Bibliinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/article/view/1518-2924.2008v13n25p156/887Copyright (c) 2008 Ariadne Chlöe Mary Furnival, Veridiana Abehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFurnival, Ariadne Chlöe MaryAbe, Veridiana2023-07-19T14:22:47Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/1160Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/eb/oaiencontrosbibli@contato.ufsc.br||portaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br1518-29241518-2924opendoar:2023-07-19T14:22:47Encontros Bibli - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
