Abstract

This paper informs about an exploratory study referred to a group of literature postgraduates who, for many years, were devoted to research a topic in order to obtain a doctor degree. The involved strategies in the information seeking process (ISP) in complex activities are identified; it is established that the ISP activities combined themselves and are dynamically and recurrently influenced by each other; the ISP zones of intervention are identified; combined models are used to describe the ISP moments, and to verify the models application viability.
