Zipf’s Principle of Least Effort:
People will put forth the minimum effort required to obtain information, even if it means
accepting lower quality or quantity of information.

In other words, students are willing to accept information that is
merely sufficient as long as they obtain it simply and easily.

An information retrieval system will tend not to be used whenever it is more painful and troublesome for a
customer to have information than for him not to have it.
Mooer’s Law:
Remarks by Calvin N. Mooers during a panel discussion at the Annual Meeting of the American Documentation Institute, October 24, 1959.
![Page 18: E tech2013 info literacy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549e88eb4c90518488b4cea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Having information is painful and troublesome. We have all experienced this. If you have information,
you must first read it, which is not always easy. You must then try to understand it....Understanding the information may show that your work was wrong, or may show that your work was needless....Thus not having and not using information can often lead to
less trouble and pain than having and using it.”
Remarks by Calvin N. Mooers on October 24, 1959. Reprinted in the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science, October/November 1996.
