Hello, thank you for your prompt reply. I am looking at the different types of Information professionals who are present within this particular social networking site. My degree aims to explore the everyday life Information behaviours of Information professionals who are present within this particular social networking site.
I have an asynchronous online interview which you could fill out in your own time and then post back ot me. It really does not matter how long ago you were on this site. If any of the questions do not apply to you can merely miss them out.
If you would like to particpate in this study I could send you the interview questions and you could post them back to my separate email account alternativley if you would like to know more about my study I could send you more details.
My email address is paulabarbato707@hotmail.com
