Exploring Interaction and Participation to Support Information Seeking in a Social Information Space

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The amount of information available in electronic information spaces, such as Usenet or the World Wide Web, exceeds by far what a person could look at in a reasonable amount of time. Having access to this amount of information offers opportunities that were unimaginable a few decades ago. However, the sheer quantity involves the practical problem of finding the most interesting information without spending too much time investigating information that is less interesting (see also Chapter 10).
