            ISP is usually incorporated in the education system as it helps in creating awareness of the evolving process and helps in the understanding of the feelings that affect the utilization of the information (Kuhlthau 1999). This concept is used day in day out as it enables one to find meaning which fits into the already existing knowledge. However, it is not necessarily the same answer for all the searches but it is the sense making one with the individual frame work of reference. Thus the ISP is essential in professional sector as it helps in culminating a new knowledge as well as a solution which can thus be used as reference, be presented and also shared among different people within different professions.

            Sense-making concept is essential as it has been used all over the world by researchers in different professions in carrying out of qualitative researches thus allowing thus allowing for quality outcomes (Dervin 1992). This concept is mostly used in the individualistic setting as it recognizes that humans has the communicative action and thus they can be able to make meaning out of this and also systems gain energy. Thus those people who adopt this concept are able to voice their ideas to the various systems while these systems become responsive.

            Berry picking concept has been applied in day to day searches as it makes the searches effective. Thus the concept is used in real searches where exacting want at the moment and it shifts as a need to shift also rises (Kuhlthau n.d). Thus it is evident that this kind of concept is evolving in nature and thus most appropriate to carry out an evolving research. This research concept therefore is essential as it carries out a research at a time. In doing so a thorough analysis of data can be enhanced and thus allowing for a good evaluation of the search.

            Static information retrieval model as advocated for by Bates may not be the best model to use when researching on contemporary issues. This is because this model seems to be partial and thus inadequate in fully assessing the issue in the world that we are living in. In evolving firms however, the static model is appropriate to be used as it is complex and thus researching an issue at a time may be possible. However, when addressing issues to do with crossing a gap in a certain understanding, such as in employment in the current world that we are living in, this complex model may not be appropriate and thus the right answers that an individual may want so as to solve a problem may not be reached so as to solve a problem. Thus, most of the researchers will not waste so much of their time and efforts as well as resources in trying to find answers using the classical model of searching. This model is flexible and once it is used it yields better results. However, the model to be used in a given organization largely relies on the culture of that workplace. It is also clear that each model has its own benefits and limitation and thus the integration of the two models ought to be implemented in an organization so as to attain the best outcome. In doing this a more realistic as well as benefit will be reached and knowledge will be acquired and will be used as solutions.
