Editor's Notes

3. 10 mins backround 15 mins study 20 mins twitter
4. 10 mins backround 15 mins study 20 mins twitter
5. what do i mean by alternative forms of search?
6. what do i mean by alternative forms of search?
7. 199 millions pages that could help you!
9. completeness - including no answer
10. this is how ive been investigating it grounding it in mspace
17. google
20. better video?
22. but i suffered the result-availability problem
23. wanted a quick method - applied to prototyes - earlier design bit like stephann makri’s info behaviour work, but at a lower seeking only level.
24. 10 mins? earlier?
25. so what did i do? dont dwell
26. so what did i do? dont dwell
27. so what did i do? dont dwell
28. so what did i do? dont dwell
29. so what did i do? dont dwell
30. so what did i do? dont dwell
36. how does it support tactics at each of these points
38. and then it uses the models to infer support for certain types of users.
45. hit at 18mins ish
48. not going to go into history - ann knows the history
49. these have increasing ecological validity
50. but that doesnt tell you if its a good method for practitioners not ‘recommended’ - tried with very newbies
53. Cockton - its not measuring time - effort but makes you think about each feature and how it *could* be designed doesnt impose design - or design decisions ‘moves’ is just not a suitable measure for that
54. prof keith lloyd - director health sciences swansea analyse current UI
55. try to hit at 25 mins
56. that was a bit of a large vision into the future but in the mean time - it turns out that there’s still a lot we dont know about these exploratory conditions for example.
58. information need is probably either:
59. information need is probably either:
60. information need is probably either:
64. actually its still going
65. 30 mins or earlier
68. only 10 of the 12 words
69. left col - trouble? right col - children!
70. browsing - its very time-passing - open ended exploring - in a fixed space. faceted browsing?
71. hunting will provide us with a lot of insight into the information scarcity problem
72. searching - not associated with time - but often with ‘best’ or ‘optimal’ answers seeking - people (inc porn) and truth/god etc investigating was never really associated with love, happy, or goodness but the police
73. tried tweets with emoticons and a ‘lingo training set’
74. hunting often negative - perhaps lots of fails? browsing is neutral exploring is positive?
75. exploring is more positive, and browsing is very neutral browsing often to pass time
76. positive investigation == successful results? hunting, however, includes aptlist in the negative
79. retrieval is procedureal - perhaps the driving force of the IR community? ‘faceted browsing’ - browsing is actually just open ended passing time - chaining and random paths ES - understanding the breadth of something or checking them all Inv. - hidden dependancies (ben s)
