Abstract:
Although it has become commonplace for users and organizations alike to regularly collaborate during the seeking, searching, retrieval and use of information, a definitive work on the behaviors, practices, and systems that enable this collaborative information behavior has been lacking. This book fulfills that urgent demand by presenting current research and practices in the area of collaborative information behavior. Providing empirical research findings, theoretical frameworks, and models relevant to the myriad aspects of collaborative information behavior, the book is an ambitious and important work for professionals, educators and researchers in the fields of information science, knowledge management, human-computer interaction and computer-supported cooperative work.
