Keyword - information behavior, context
In the information science (IS) literature, the concept of context has often been used in the company of situation. Cool (2001) discusses the relationship between context and situation, and observes that these concepts are often used interchangeably in the literature. In reviewing the conceptualization of situation across a variety of disciplines, Cool (2001) notes various descriptions of situation, and details six major treatments of situation that are believed to be useful to IS, two of which, the problematic situation and the personin- situation, are particularly useful for differentiating between situation and context in the current paper.
