    In 1998 we started a research project to explore possible uses for information encountering in the context of online shopping, especially as related to customer referrals of encountered information. The conceptual framework for the analysis of information encountering (i.e. user, environment, information, and needs) that emerged from our earlier work (Erdelez, 1995) was used as a starting point. This framework: (1) informed us about differences in users' predispositions for information encountering (user dimension); (2) brought to our attention differences in information use environments in providing opportunities for information encountering (environment dimension); and (3) guided our understanding of specific types of information use, such as sharing of information which is encountered for others (information and need dimensions)
