Literature review
Everyday life information seeking
Studies on ‘non-work information studies’, also called ‘citizen
information seeking’, go back to the 1970s, but the
term ‘everyday life information seeking’ (ELIS) was first
coined in 1995 (Savolainen, 1995). ELIS expresses the
view that work and non-work information needs overlap
and it is hard to distinguish between them. ELIS and jobrelated
information seeking complement each other.
