Everyday Life Music Information-Seeking Behaviour Of Young Adults.

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: This poster presents the preliminary results of an ongoing qualitative study on the everyday-life music informationseeking behaviour of young adults. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed following a grounded theory approach. The analysis showed a strong penchant for informal channels (e.g., friends, relative) and, conversely, a distrust of experts. It also emerged that music seeking was mostly motivated by curiosity rather than by actual information needs, which in turn explains why browsing is such a popular strategy.
