Abstract

Information retrieval systems such as library OPACs have been largely designed to give the impression of being single user systems, the existence and activity of other users being hidden from each other. However, informal observations indicate significant collaboration between users despite the fact that existing systems fail to support this. Describes the development of an interface, the Ariadne system, that supports collaboration through the storage and re-use of others' search processes promoting better visualization of the information data structures being browsed and more effective means of communicating the browsing process. Discusses issues relating to privacy and ownership resulting from the storage of users' searches. Argues that introducing support for collaboration into information retrieval systems would help users to learn and use the systems more effectively

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
