These two spheres encompass a significant share if not majority of life's time and effort at the universal level. This paper examines information seeking behavior within two specific contexts far outside the realm of everyday life. Characterized as deeply meaningful and intensely personal with life\u2010long impacts, these contexts may not easily fit within existing information seeking behavior framework. We use examples from lived experiences in two deeply meaningful contexts to explore the scope of everyday life information seeking (ELIS), through women who relinquished a child for adoption and from sperm donor offspring who have tried to uncover the identity of their donor. Situations like these have profound impact on the focal person; perceived information needs and search strategies directly affect processes of decision making, coping, and understanding of one's self. Continuing the shift toward a more person centric approach, we suggest information seeking behavior within some contexts should be explored as a third facet of life experience: the deeply meaningful and profoundly personal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.14504701228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,3]],"date-time":"2011-02-03T16:35:46Z","timestamp":1296750946000},"page":"1-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Beyond everyday life: Information seeking behavior in deeply meaningful and profoundly personal contexts"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Rachael Green","family":"Clemens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amber L.","family":"Cushing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"444","article-title":"Theories for practitioners: Two frameworks for studying consumer health information\u2010seeking behavior","volume":"87","author":"Baker L.M.","year":"1999","journal-title":"Bulletin of the Medical Library Association"},{"volume-title":"Thinking and deciding","year":"2008","author":"Baron J.","key":"e_1_2_7_3_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/eb024320"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781412976633.n3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/lawfam\/ebp002"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","first-page":"353","article-title":"Avoiding versus seeking: The relationship of information seeking to avoidance, blunting, coping, dissonance, and related concepts","volume":"93","author":"Case D.
