CHAPTER V
Conclusions
Many studies regarding information source selection in an IR environment have
been conducted. There is also a growing body of research regarding relevance criteria as
indicators of reasons underlying source choice. Internal personal factors affecting the use
of relevance criteria and the selection of information sources have been the object of
some conjecture in Information Science. The internal psychological factor of personality
type has been heavily researched in a number of disciplines. In Information Science, if
internal psychological factors such as personality type affect information-seeking
behavior, then they must be taken into account when designing information systems and
services. Ignoring internal factors may impede use, acceptance, and effectiveness of any
IR technology. Understanding the relationship between specific internal factors to
relevance criteria use and information source selection is a start toward building for the
future of information provision.
This chapter summarizes the study's purpose, design, and results; presents
conclusions for hypothesis 1 and hypothesis 2; acknowledges limitations of the study;
describes potential applications of results; and discusses contributions of the study to the
field and future research directions.74
