This article describes the first two parts of a three-stage study investigating the information behaviour of fans and fan communities, focusing on fans of cult media. A literature analysis shows that information practices are an inherent and major part of fan activities, and that fans are practitioners of new forms of information consumption and production, showing sophisticated activities of information organisation and dissemination. A subsequent Delphi study, taking the novel form of a 'serious leisure' Delphi, in which the participants are not experts in the usual sense, identifies three aspects of fan information behaviour of particular interest beyond the fan context: information gatekeeping; classifying and tagging; and entrepreneurship and economic activity.

“…Finally, and of most direct relevance, we should note the Delphi studies undertaken by Zins, carried out with a panel of information science scholars to try to find consensus on some of the foundational issues of the discipline [22,23,24,25]. Described as a Critical Delphi, this focuses on the participants' understanding of concepts, and of the interrelationships between these concepts.…”

This is the unspecified version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link Lyn RobinsonCentre for Information Science, City University London, London, EC1V 0HB, United Kingdom AbstractAs part of a wider study of the relevance of the principles and practices of the Slow Movement to the information disciplines and professions, a Delphi study was carried out with 17 researchers in information behaviour and practices. A novel variant of the Delphi technique, termed the Slow Delphi, was devised for this study. This is aimed at eliciting qualitative understanding of complex conceptual topics, where there are a variety of perspectives and positions to be considered. The results of the study show a variety of points of potential applicability of Slow principles in research into information behaviour and practices, and in information provision. These include: more explicit inclusion of a temporal dimension in information behaviour models; greater recognition of the importance of the tempo of information seeking; more critical consideration of speed and scale as factors in the information environment; and the potential for individuals to exercise greater control over their information environment.

“…Theoretical-practical notions relating to marketing have become a curricular subject of necessary interest for the LIS in multiple contexts (Gupta, 2003;Obaidjevwe, 2012), so that it has been also found within the twenty-eight schemes of classification on the map of knowledge of the Information Science integrated by Zins (2007). Although, from a realistic view, "the incidence of the marketing on the LIS has been occurred in the manner in which the elements of the market can be applied to products and services of information generated in organizations" (González-Valiente, León & Rivera, 2014, p. 235).…”

This article discusses the information dimension of marketing from a technical, theoretical and behavioral perspective. It also comments the relationship between marketing and the library and information science (LIS). It is an exploratory and descriptive study and its qualitative approaches are carried out through classic documentary analysis. From the technical perspective, it addresses the presence of information in all marketing management processes, from market research to the final preparation of the marketing plan. From the theoretical perspective, it addresses the frameworks for marketing information processing, the influence of the information value theory and the application of techniques from dissimilar areas of study to analyze the information. From the behavioral perspective, it shows empirical evidence of human information behavior of marketing managers and other actors, based on cognitive and social viewpoints. Regarding disciplinary relations, marketing and LIS share theories related to information behavior, information management, and systems analysis and design. The marketing approaches is more noticeable on LIS studies than LIS approaches on marketing studies, considering the analysed literature. Information, as a link between both disciplines, makes way to delve into new research, academic and practical scenarios. Repensando la dimensión informacional de la mercadotecnia ResumenEn este artículo se aborda la dimensión informacional de la mercadotecnia desde una perspectiva técnica, teórica y comportamental. También se profundiza en las relaciones entre la mercadotecnia y la Bibliotecología y la Ciencia de la Información (BCI). Es un estudio exploratorio-descriptivo, cuyos abordajes cualitativos se realizan mediante el análisis documental clásico. Desde la perspectiva técnica se aborda la presencia de la información en todos los procesos de gestión mercadotécnica, desde la investigación de mercados hasta la confección final del plan de mercadotecnia. Desde la perspectiva teórica se hace alusión a los marcos para el procesamiento de la información de mercado, la influencia de la teoría del valor de la información y la aplicación de técnicas provenientes de disímiles áreas de estudio para analizar la información. Desde la perspectiva comportamental se exponen evidencias empíricas de comportamiento humano informacional de los gestores de mercadotecnia y otros actores, a partir de las aristas cognitiva y social. Relativo a las relaciones disciplinares, se percibe que la mercadotecnia y la BCI comparten teorías asociadas al comportamiento informacional, la gestión de información y el análisis y diseño de sistemas. El enfoque de la mercadotecnia es más notable en los estudios de BCI que en enfoques de BCI sobre estudios de mercadeo, considerando la literatura analizada. La información, como nexo entre ambas disciplinas, abre un camino para profundizar en nuevos escenarios investigativos, académicos y prácticos.
