    Abstract
    Considers how to build systems that more actively support collaboration. Describes a system that embodies just 1 kind of explicit support; a graphical representation of the search process that can be manipulated and discussed by users. Considers this system which leads to an analysis of designing systems to support coping behaviour by users; including the need to support both help-giving by people and recovery from the failure of intelligent agents. Discusses the idea of interfaces as notations for supporting dialogues between people

    Abstract
    In natural history museums, knowledge organization systems have gradually been migrated from paper-based catalog ledgers to electronic databases; these databases in turn must be migrated from one platform or software version to another. These migrations are by no means straightforward, particularly when one data schema must be mapped to another-or, when a database has been used in other-than-its-intended manner. There are few tools or methods available to support the necessary work of comparing divergent data schemas. Here we present a proof-of-concept in which we compare two versions of a subset of the Specify 6 data model using Euler/X, a logic-based reasoning tool. Specify 6 is a popular natural history museum database system whose data model has undergone several changes over its lifespan. We use Euler/X to produce visualizations (called "possible worlds") of the different ways that two versions of this data model might be mapped to one another. This proof-of-concept lays groundwork for further approaches that could aid data curators in database migration and maintenance work. It also contributes to research on the unique challenges to knowledge organization within natural history museums, and on the applicability of logic-based approaches to database schema migration or crosswalking.

    Abstract
    There is growing interest in embodiment in information seeking, which we use as an opportunity to reconsider what we as designers of information interfaces aim for. While we have become quite good at developing interfaces that are effective at supporting specific needs or needs that have been rendered specific, we are still not good at providing interfaces that reflect a key human characteristic and strength: being embedded in this world and being curious about it. While this discussion is related to research into serendipity (see, e.g., Erdelez et al. 2016), we stay clear of this body of work since we feel the issue is a broader one: we seem to have become stuck designing interfaces that are more suitable for patient, logical, rational robots (or Vulcans) than for mammals who get tired, bored, exited, irritated, intrigued, or distracted, and who even change their minds about what they want to do.

    Abstract
    The aim of the project was to gain a better understanding of the nature of collaboration in the information searching process, and to consider how information systems design could better address and support collaboration activity. Objectives were: to undertake a small scale study of the nature of collaborative activity in the process of searching for information; examine how the transition to increasingly digital libraries will affect the nature of this collaboration; and to make recommendations for enhancing the beneficial effects of collaborative searching with existing technology and for influencing the development of library systems that actively support social activities
