Abstract
In this study everyday information practices of Pakistani urban teens will be analyzed by using pragmatism
worldview and by applying sequential explanatory mixed method research. It explores the information practice of
urban teens along with perceived usefulness of acquired information to fulfill their information needs. The
theoretical framework of this proposed study will be based upon the “information practice model”, “information
source horizon” and “information pathways”. In Pakistan many studies have been carried out on information need
and seeking behavior of diverse groups, but not a single study has been done so far on everyday information
practices of Pakistani urban teens. This research is a humble endeavor to understand the issues of Pakistani teens
that may lead to design systems for fulfilling their everyday life information needs. Results of this study will be
helpful for academicians to understand Pakistani teens’ information practices and policy makers to introduce
diverse information related services in their schools and curricula along with the development of information
literacy programs.
