The bachelour thesis discusses research methods of information behaviour. The introduction of this work reviews information behaviour in terms of information: need, request, seeking and search. The body introduces basic theories and models which were created at the time of studies of the mentioned subject. The core of the thesis examines methods of research based on three basic approaches: sociological, psychological and from discipline HCI. This review also consists of details on specific methods of information behaviour such as, transaction log analysis or citation analysis. Besides each method there are described advantages and disadvantages which determine the methods being applied.

Sacrifice as Investment, Investment as Sacrifice
Hrivniaková, Jana ; Sedláček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Janotík, Tomáš (referee)
In this work we will look at a particular example of investment and sacrifice, where investment originates in science and sacrifice in myths, but they both meet. The question is what exactly is what they are describing. Is investment and sacrifice similar or to grasp full understanding of this phenomenon we need both approaches? There can be found characteristics of rites in investment, similar structure and symbolism as well as economic incentives incorporated in the sacrifice. However investment is not perceived as rite and communication with divinity and sacrifice is not pure cost and benefit analysis. This paper tries to answer these questions and clarify the line between the two. It was Walter Benjamin who was first to notice the similarities between religion and economics and we would like to continue with the discussion. This topic is not much discussed further in literature, therefore by this paper we would like to fill the gap and contribute to the topic.
