Abstract

This poster presents preliminary results a field study conducted to compare oral information behaviour in and large and one small, developed country. Recognizing the interdependence between context and orality, the study asks whether a model developed to identify oral documents may be extended to study oral information in general and in different context. The poster present results from a field study with interview and observation data from a large and a small developed nation.
