Exploring Information Worlds: A Codebook and Theory Development Session for Interaction and Engagement

Officially published in 2010, the theory of information worlds is an exciting and relatively new addition to the theoretical and analytical backbone of the information disciplines. This two-part session is designed to introduce the theory of information worlds and discuss current and potential applications of the theory as well as host a hands-on event where participants are invited to bring their own data and try out the theory. While this session would be ideal for doctoral students and early career scholars, anyone with an interest in social information behavior theories, codebook development, theory testing, or research methods should consider attending.
