The publication of the National Strategy for Carers attests to this. This paper presents the findings of a study into informal carers in Leicestershire, commissioned by Leicestershire Social Services Department. Specifically, the paper focuses on the use of the Sense-Making approach to study the informal carers’ information needs. Sense-Making theory is explained and a discussion of the development and administration of the micro-timeline interview is given. Sample data derived form the interviews are reviewed followed by a discussion of the acceptability and appropriateness of the Sense-Making method in the context of understanding informal carers’ information needs. The paper concludes that the Sense making methodology is an appropriate technique to use with this population . 2003 British Library en FALSE GB- http://hdl.handle.net/10760/6071 public Library and Information Research 27 86 19-29 TRUE B.
