The Impact of Cognitive Structure and Processes on Information Seeking Bili sel Yap n n ve lemlerin Bilgi Arama Davran üzerine Etkisi

Early information retrieval systems had been developed by working on the system and its outputs by ignoring the user. However, traditional processing and organization of the information are different from those in user's mind. At the end of 1970 s and in the beginning of 1980 s it was realised that the cognitive and affective aspects of the user have an effect upon the interaction between the system and the user, and the information seeking behaviour. The studies related with user's information seeking behaviour and needs came to focus and a new viewpoint which is called cognitive viewpoint was applied. This viewpoint has emphazised on cognitive processes and emotional motivations in information seeking behaviour. In this paper, user's cognitive structure, relevance, information seeking behaviour and the relations among them are examined.
