John Mowbray presents research on social networks and job seeking at CoLIS9, Sweden
Centre for Social Informatics PhD student John Mowbray is delivering a paper entitled ‘The role of networking and social media tools during job search: an information behaviour perspective’ at Conceptions of Library and Information Science (CoLIS9) in Sweden this afternoon.
The paper is based on work that John has completed as part of his ESRC-funded doctoral study. John will present a critical analysis of the extant literature pertaining to the networking behaviours of young job seekers, and propose a framework derived from information behaviour theory as a basis for conducting further research in this area.
Conceptions of Library and Information Science (CoLIS) is a series of international conferences that provides a broad forum for the exploration and exchange of ideas in the field of Library and Information Science, Information Studies, and related disciplines.
