information man's behavior is relatively stable over time; there are very few longitudinal studies to suggest an interest in contrary view.
資訊人行為在時間因素中是相對穩定的。很少指出行為趣向間矛盾的歷時性研究。
That information behavior may be described adequately in terms of relationships with information systems of artificially limited potential, e.g., a library and its documents, a rigorously delimited group of specialists, use of certain forms of printed records.
其資訊行為也許會在其相關資訊系統限制下被描述。如，圖書館與其文件，嚴密區隔的專家群體，使用某些格式的引刷紀錄等。
That motives impelling individuals to the use of information systems are evident enough not to require systematic investigation, and that aspects of behaviour other than the direct obtaining and use of information are irrelevant to the understanding of the information process.
其使用資訊系統的個人動機即足以證明，無須系統性探究。且，與直接獲得與使用資訊以外面向的行為，則與對資訊程序的瞭解不相關。
That there exists a direct, and positive, relationship between such behavior consequences as productivity, effectiveness, efficiency, achievement, etc. and the usage of information and information systems.
其存在著行為序列間的引導性、正向關係，如：生產性、有效性、效率、成就等，以及資訊與資訊系統的使用。
That information behavior is rationally motivated and organized. Those studies which embody the 'who knows better than the user' view fall into this class. Numerous studies, however, express concern at the non-rational, or imperfect, information behavior of studied groups (see, e.g., Ford, 1977:70; Hounsell, 1980). A difficulty associated with such views is that, usually, the observed elements of non-rationality are derived from a comparison with the information seeking practices of information scientists rather than from evaluations of rationality based upon individual information requirements in a context of available time, opportunity costs, possible consequences, etc. Although it might be claimed that information scientists have a vested interest in making such critical observations of information seeking behavior, such deviations from rationality have rarely been employed to alter working assumptions regarding information man, although they could be claimed to influence service attitudes and practices.
其資訊行為是理性地被動機驅使的與組織的。一些被視為「知道的比使用者觀點更多」的研究都屬於這種類型。然而，許多研究也注意到非理性或不完全的資訊行為。連結這些見解的困難在於，觀察到的非理性元件，是經由與資訊學者的資訊尋求工作比較而來的，而非透過時間、機會成本、可能性序列脈絡中的個人資訊需求分析而來的。雖然，也可以宣稱資訊學者在做出此資訊尋求行為的批判觀察有一定的重要性，然而，此種偏差很少被注意到，或理解為對資訊人的一個假定。
