Abstract

Collaborative information retrieval (CIR) encompasses the many varied social approaches to information seeking. Although some information retrieval systems have given an impression of individual access to resources, there is a growing realization that much information work is fundamentally collaborative in nature. We highlight key points in the recent history of CIR, particularly the difference between explicit and implicit collaboration.
