Everyday Information: The Evolution of Information Seeking in America

Abstract

To paraphrase Moli?re, for more than a century we have been engaged in information-seeking behavior without knowing it. From the moment we tumble out of bed our day is a perpetual cycle of information acquisition and evaluation. This compendious book brings middle-class America's quotidian information activities to life, vividly and intimately.
