The study suggests that a behavioral framework that relates motivations (Aguilar) and moves (Ellis) may be helpful in analyzing patterns of Web-based information seeking. Section 3 integrates elements from research in information seeking and organizational scanning into a ...

Article:ijhcs.open.ac.uk/tauscher/tauscher-nf.html
We report on users' revisitation patterns to World Wide Web pages, and use the results to lay an empirical foundation for the design of history mechanisms in Web browsers. We found that 58% of an individual's pages are revisits, and that users continually add new Web pages into their repertoire of visited pages. People tend to revisit pages just visited, access only a few pages frequently, browse in very small clusters of related pages, and generate only short sequences of repeated URL ...

Users started by familiarizing themselves with the site map or home page for five minutes. After the first site was completed, users repeated this procedure with the other site, starting from the site map if they originally started from the home page or the home page if they originally started from the site map.
