Abstract
Through a description of information science, communications, and knowledge utilization information models, this paper provides an introduction to the conceptual framework for the use of information in knowledge work activities and outlines one approach to studying knowledge work. The Gesher Project a design effort undertaken by Brandeis librarians and Digital Equipment Corporation software engineers is presented, with details of a group study of the Brandeis Radio Astronomy Group (BRAG). A prototype information management system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation researchers is also described.
