TABOSA, Hamilton Rodrigues  e  PINTO, Virginia Bentes. Analysis of information use and search behavior models in dissertations and theses of PPGCI: A proposal to broaden in the Ellis Model. Investig. bibl [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.65, pp.101-114. ISSN 2448-8321.

With a view toward modifying the Ellis model, this study examines how search behavior and information use studies are employed in dissertations and theses defended in Brazilian Information Science postgraduate programs in the period 2000-2012. In light of the proposition offered by Crespo (2005), researchers employed the search behavior and information use model developed by Ellis, Cox and Hall (1993) in order to propose an addition to the Ellis (1989) model. The methodology of the empirical study entailed a qualitative review of twenty -six research reports, comprised of twenty-four theses and two essays. This review confirmed the need for the addition of Sharing as a category.
