DESCRIPTION
Search is about more than matching results to a given query. A more holistic perspective is needed that encompass how users engage with information over periods of days, weeks, and even months. This talk looks at the learning process, as outlined by Carol Kuhlthau, and practical design considerations for helping users interact with information over time. This talk was presented at the European Conference on Information Retrieval in Dublin, 2011.
