Abstract

[Abstracts should be 'structured' as shown in this example. Alternative structures are shown in the Instructions for Authors]

Introduction. People living in rural areas may face specific barriers to finding useful health-related information, and their use of information may differ from their urban counterparts.
Method. This random-digit dial telephone survey of 253 people (75% female) living in a rural, medically under-serviced area of Ontario, Canada, follows-up a previous interview study to examine with a larger sample issues related to searching for and using health information.
Analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the sample and the distribution of responses to each question. Sex differences on key questions were analysed using the Chi-squared test.
Results. Respondents were as likely to find information on the Internet as from doctors, although several reported that they had no access to these resources. Many of those surveyed used the information they found to look after themselves or someone else, to decide whether to seek assistance from a professional health care provider, and/or to make treatment decisions. Echoing results from other studies, a significant proportion of women reported that they did not discuss with a doctorthe information they found.
Conclusions. These findings have implications for Canadian government health policy, particularly the use of e-health strategies.

Introduction

This is a template for your paper for Information Research. The following paragraphs illustrate how citations are made and linked to the reference list; how a table is constructed and how a figure is embedded in the text. You need to open this template in an html editor, such as Dreamweaver, or a free editor such as html-kit. Do not, under any circumstance, use any automatic conversion software and, in particular, do not use the conversion feature of Microsoft Word - this can increase the file size by more than 100% and embeds a great deal of unnecessary code. The appearance of your paper on the site is determined by the style-sheet we use - any additional code, such as that used by Word has to be removed in order for the style sheet to do its work.

In a review of papers given at an earlier ISIC conference Gaslikova (1999) suggested that there was a potential benefit from a flow of ideas between the information systems developers and the ISIC community. However, as Ellis et al. (1999) noted the flow of information and ideas between these research communities is limited. In this paper we bring together a pressing and rapidly developing research concern of the information systems community; the use and development of mobile information and communications technologies, with core areas of research interest within the information behaviour literature; managers' information behaviour ( Choo and Auster 1993, Nied&zacute;wiedzka 2003, Katzer and Fletcher 1992, de Alwis, and Higgins 2001, Correia and Wilson 1997) and information overload (Allen and Wilson 2002).

Cut and paste the rest of your text into paragraph markers.

Standard format for a table:

Tables are probably the most complicated aspect of html coding. This is why we have kept it as simple as possible. Do not use any additional coding for column width or height or other attributes for font size, etc. The appearance of the table is set by the CSS3 code and the individual elements have their own default attributes. For example, you need only <th> to indicate a heading cell which is in bold and centred - there is no need to use <th style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold;"> and <td> is always left-aligned, you do not need to indicate this in the coding. The most complicated <td> element you need to use is when numbers need to be centred in a column, when <td style="text-align:center">86</td> is used, as in the code below.

Standard layout for a figure

The HTML5 coding for a figure is very simple, as you see: no information is needed in the alt attribute of the figure, because of the existence of the figcaption element. Do not create any more elaborate coding for a figure: text alignment, font family and size are all set by the CSS3 coding for figcaption.
