Abstract
The context for work presented in this paper is the field of information logistics and addressing the reduction of information overload. Among the approaches for reducing information overload, the concept of information demand patterns has been developed for capturing organizational knowledge on how to improve information supply. This paper investigates the use of information demand patterns (IDP) in higher education by performing an exercise with 22 students divided into 12 groups in a master course on information logistics. The intention is to explore whether the IDP structure reached a level of maturity to transfer it to actors outside the development team and whether it also can be applied for capturing information demand in general. The main result of the work is that the respondents participating in the exercise managed to produce information demand descriptions using the pattern structure, which indicates that they understood the structure as such and were able to apply it.
