Abstract
This paper gives a introduction about several theoretical models of information behavior and information seeking behavior. These representative models in Western countries include Dervin's theory and model of sense-making which is accepted in information studies as the metatheory to investigate information behavior, Ellis' model of information seeking behavior, Kuhlthau's model of information seeking process and Wilson's model of information seeking behavior. Detailed comparative analysis and objective evaluation on these four models. Their differences and shared features are summarized.
