โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

This panel presents the information realities that exist within leisure time. It introduces a conceptual model of leisure, called serious leisure (Stebbins, 1982), that affirms the role of information in enabling leisure experience. Our panel offers a theoretical perspective and case studies of a meaningful area of everyday life that has not been a subject of much information research. The specific goals are threefold:

To present state of the art theorizing and research underway into the information seeking and use that occurs in the everyday life realm of leisure

To introduce serious leisure, a concept that serves as a unifying umbrella and theoretical frame for such work, and

To showcase fruitful international collaboration underway between leisure science and information studies
