Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of modeling in the field of information behavior.
Method/approach. the type of This study is a library- documentary one.
Findings. The findings of the study showed that modeling in the field of information behavior helps to understand when, why, and how information-seeking happens. It also helps as an instrument for information management, evaluation and/or improvement of organization and information retrieval, as well as to understand various behaviors of users.
Conclusion. the results of the study indicate that Models are useful in describing and predicting the phenomena; they could be used in identifying complex problems such as human information behavior. Due to the representation power, anatomical characteristics, and the ability to connect scientific theories and the real world, models can work as powerful element in the process of information behavior research.
