Languages of publication
Abstracts
Purpose/Thesis: The article opens new research opportunities by going beyond the concept of the information user and contributing to the development of a research paradigm based on the idea of information agency. It proposes a theoretical framework for a new way of thinking about the subject of information processes. Approach/Methods: This conceptual article is based on theoretical considerations and synthetic, critical analyses of the concept of the information user alongside other ideas underlying the approach proposed here. Results and conclusions: The article establishes a theoretical framework for thinking about the information agent. The information agent is seen as a dynamic, heterogeneous, multifaced and inseparable system gaining agency in specific situations and losing it in others. Originality/Value: The article presents the original concept of an information agent together with initial suggestions regarding how to apply it to, and make it operable in, empirical research.
Cel/Teza: Artykuł proponuje poszerzenie możliwości badawczych poprzez wyjście poza koncepcję użytkownika informacji i rozwijanie paradygmatu badawczego opartego na koncepcji sprawczości informacyjnej. Szczegółowym celem jest stworzenie teoretycznych ram dla nowego sposobu myślenia o podmiocie procesów informacyjnych. Koncepcja/Metody badań: Artykuł ma charakter koncepcyjny i został oparty na rozważaniach teoretycznych oraz na syntetycznych, krytycznych analizach zarówno koncepcji użytkownika informacji, jak i innych, wybranych koncepcjach leżących u podstaw proponowanego tutaj podejścia. Wyniki i wnioski: Zaproponowano teoretyczne ramy koncepcji agenta informacyjnego, który jest postrzegany jako dynamiczny, heterogeniczny, wielopłaszczyznowy i nierozerwalny system, który zyskuje sprawczość w określonych sytuacjach i traci ją w innych. Oryginalność/Wartość poznawcza: Przedstawiono oryginalną koncepcję agenta informacyjnego wraz z wstępnymi sugestiami dotyczącymi jej zastosowań i sposobu operacjonalizacji na poziomie projektowania badań empirycznych.
