How People “Refind” Information
From the article, “Half the battle of finding information on the Web is getting back to a page you’ve already seen. The Web has long spurred researchers to study how people initially find information, but the tactics people use to get back to previously discovered information remain less understood. Researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University are examining how people relocate information rather than how they find it the first time. The researchers’ study showed that people tend to use a two-stage process to find information they have seen before, that they use domain information and context to move closer to a goal, and that annotations make things easier.”
