The Turn: Integration of Information Seeking and Retrieval in Context.
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2006, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In July 2004, I was one of the participants at the Workshop on Information Retrieval in Context (IRiX) which was held in conjunction with SIGIR conference. The workshop was very encouraging for me because I realized researchers in Information Retrieval's (IR) camp acknowledge the importance of context in the process of seeking and searching for information and tend to move towards more subjective and cognitive aspects of IR. However, two years later in April 2006 when I attended another IR conference, the European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR), I noticed despite all recent efforts to support common grounds of research in IR and Information Seeking (IS), we still have a long way to reach an optimal point where researchers in both camps can efficiently cooperate with each other. Luckily, a recent book entitled 'The Turn: Integration of Information Seeking and Retrieval in Context' can help us to pave this way.
