- presents and analyzes several approaches and methos of the information seeking process, with reference to the Information Overload and Digital Divide phenomena
- reflects on the role of library and librarians in contrasting such phenomena, through the development and delivery of customized services (e.g. reference library/work), taking care of the user's education, thanks also to the new social networks that are offered by the web 2.0
