Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, v53 n2 p67-78 Jan 15, 2002
This study of the Web information searching behavior of 206 United Kingdom college students over a 10-month period showed that, contrary to expectations, the users adopted a more passive or browsing approach to Web information searching and became more eclectic in their selection of Web hosts as they gained experience.
