61Bates, M. (2002) discusses an information farming model noting, for example, that people often assemble information into collections for later use (similar to our storage of food for later consumption).
62Whittaker, S. (2011) challenges the foraging model of information behavior and, more generally, consumption models of PIM. He advances, instead, a model in which we curate our information (keeping, managing and sometimes exploiting the information we encounter).
