Value Theory and Media Richness Theory), resource conditions (such as Social Capital Theory)
and social psychology (such as Social Presence Theory and Transactive Memory Theory). From
three major aspects (source-related, characteristics of searching task, and individual-related),
the second part reviews the theoretical factors influencing the selection of information source,
such as information source accessibility, information quality, task complexity, task importance,
task urgency, social capital and so on. The third part is model construction. We build a
comprehensive theoretical model of information source selection based on the related literature.
The fourth part addresses some considerations and suggestions for future research. We propose
that multi-subjects amalgamation can help strengthen the construction of a concept system and
a theoretical framework. Furthermore, future studies should extend the types of research objects
and refine the context variables. At last, we find it is necessary to study the influence of modern
social structure and social factors on the selection of information source for different social
groups.
The major contribution of this paper is the proposition of a comprehensive theoretical model of
information sources selection. In this model, information searchers and information sources are
located in a semi-closed inner ring, while tasks and environment are respectively located in the
periphery at both ends. That is, searchers make a perception and judgment on the accessibility and
quality of information sources individually and return the results to themselves；the tasks can
drive the searchers directly and reconstruct the relationship between the actors in the inner ring；
the environment has external effect on the tasks, drives the searchers indirectly and shapes the
searchers’ preferences for the information sources. This model can help us to understand the users’
information behavior and have some practical implications for information service and information
resource construction.

The past decade in China was a period of obtaining a significant progress on the system of public
cultural service. It was also a cross-stage from a level of the multiparty appealing for the Public
Culture Service Security Legislation rising to a level of national will. Systematically summarizing
the available theoretical achievement and practical experiences could effectively promote the
process of the security legislation of public cultural service. The research was conducted on CNKI
and PKU-law network platform, and up to the end of January, 2017, 242 articles in Chinese, 20
pieces of judicial interpretations for the central regulations, and 236 pieces of local codes and
