- This paper describes an investigation into the information seeking practices of knowledge workers across multiple professions. The work is significant as it documents the first attempt to systematically develop and apply a common survey instrument and analysis framework to multiple professional groups. The work remains unique in revealing patterns and insights that continue to inform the design of information products for legal researchers, clinicians, and patent attorneys and organizations such as Elsevier, Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg. This work was funded by Innovate UK and published in Information Processing & Management, a Q1 journal in computer science and information systems.
