Information overload, Irrelevant information, Information search, Use of informationAbstract
Literature review of narrative nature about the themes: information overload; irrelevant information; and search and use of information. It starts from the assumption that in daily life, professionals face a large amount of information that is irrelevant to the development of their professional activities. The analysis of the literature shows that the phenomenon of information overload is increasingly universal and ubiquitous in life. The smartphone has earned a prominent role in the access to personal or leisure information. Organizations can limit the access to irrelevant information only on company devices. Most of the time, the subjects receive information, they are not active in the search of information. This research topic requires further investigation.
