Abstract

The cognitive information concept is outlined and discussed in relation to selected central conceptions associated to Library and Information Science (LIS). The paper discusses the implication of the conception to information acquisition, both in a narrow information seeking and retrieval sense as well as in more general terms concerned with daily-life situations and scientific discovery from sensory data.
