Abstract

Five types of information seeking expressions of users are identified by an analysis of a sample of such expressions and of analogous expressions in another social context. The treatment of these expressions in the literature of information retrieval is reviewed. two recommendations are offered: (1) information specialists should call questions 'questions,' requests 'requests,' statements 'statements,' commands 'commands,' and truncated expressions 'truncated expressions,' and (2) both the search interview and the search itself should focus upon user questions
