The latest issue of Information Research just happens to contain four new articles on information behavior (including one by Dervin) and a fifth on virtual communities which seems awfully coincidental given the fact that I'm currently enrolled in a course focused on this very topic. Everbody seems to love Dervin, whom I haven't had a chance to read in any great detail yet (though Donald Case's book Seeking Information covers a number of her papers among many others) and hers is the invited, leading paper.
So, yeah, I passed these on to my classmates :)
