Museum Users Place in the Information Ecology

MLIS Program Learning Outcome: Identify needs and connect individuals and communities with information that engages and empowers them.

Description: For this assignment I was tasked with defining Information behavior, information needs, and information services of museum users. Through the analysis of research study theories, models, methods, and techniques I found that the information needs depend heavily on the type of museum visitor and their purpose for being there. This meets the program learning requirement by working towards identifying the needs of museum users and connecting them to the cultural objects on display to help broaden their perspective of the world around them.
