SANCHEZ SOTO, Armando. Information needs and information behavior of blue agave farmers in Tequila, Jalisco: A case study. Investig. bibl [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.69, pp.143-178. ISSN 2448-8321. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ibbai.2016.04.016.
This article presents an analysis of information needs and information behavior of blue agave farmers in the municipality of Tequila, Jalisco (Mexico). Nowadays we can find many different kinds of agaveros -as these farmers are commonly called in Mexico- who are classified by some characteristic features, such as property holdings, economic power, social status, and others. There are two main groups of agaveros , the independent farmers and those who rent out land for others to cultivate. Findings show that the information needs of blue agave farmers and the information resources they consult are associated with their farming activities and daily lives.
