We present key results, but focus on issues of choice and adaptation of models and theories for the study. METHODS: Primary and secondary literature on theory and models of information behavior were consulted. Taylor's Information Use Environments (IUE) model, Institutional Theory, and Dervin's Sense\u2010Making metatheory were used in the design of an open\u2010ended interview schedule. Twelve individual face\u2010to\u2010face interviews were conducted with disaster professionals drawn from the Pennsylvania Preparedness Leadership Institute (PPLI) scholars. Taylor's Information Use Environments (IUE) model served as a preliminary coding framework for the transcribed interviews. RESULTS: Disaster professionals varied in their use of libraries, peer\u2010reviewed literature, and information management techniques, but many practices were similar across professions, including heavy Internet and email use, satisficing, and preference for sources that are socially and physically accessible. CONCLUSIONS: The IUE model provided an excellent foundation for the coding scheme, but required modification to place the workplace in the larger social context of the current information society. It is not possible to confidently attribute all work\u2010related information practices to professional culture. Differences in information practice observed may arise from professional training and organizational environment, while many similarities observed seem to arise from everyday information practices common to non\u2010work settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.14504701226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,3]],"date-time":"2011-02-03T16:35:46Z","timestamp":1296750946000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Information practices of disaster preparedness professionals in multidisciplinary groups"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Barbara L.","family":"Folb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ellen G.","family":"Detlefsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra C.","family":"Quinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Barron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeanette M.","family":"Trauth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","volume-title":"The behaviour\/practice debate: A discussion prompted by Tom Wilson's review of Reijo Savolainen's Everyday Information Practices: A Social Phenomenological Perspective","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","unstructured":"Information Research 2009 14 2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","unstructured":"Bovyn B.
