Abstract

Information Requirements Determination (IRD) is presented as a process with obstacles WITHIN individual “users”, AMONG “users”, and BETWEEN “users” and systems developers. A distinction is made between IRD and Information Requirements Analysis (IRA), two labels which are often used interchangeably. The triple-obstacle view of IRD/IRA problems and the distinction between IRD and IRA is suggested as an approach for research into the requirements determination process. A user-oriented IRD tool designed to attack the “within” obstacles is identified as the basis for the authors' current research into how to improve the user's lot in the development of information systems.
