This course examines how people seek, encounter, and use information in their everyday lives. Grounded in studies of information behavior and practice, we will examine and create case studies in different areas of information seeking including but not limited to health, sports, consumer life, relationships, religion, and hobbies. Readings and assignments will explore the relationship between identity, information experience, and draw connections to larger social events and trends.
