The study found that people who use the Web as part of their work engage in four complementary modes of undirected viewing, conditioned viewing, informal search, and formal search. Based on these findings, a model of Web use is presented, as well as some suggestions for supporting and enhancing Web information seeking in organizations. 2. Recent Web Information Seeking Studies Past studies have traditionally focused on the more quantitative aspects of Web information seeking activity.

On one axis of the model, episodes were plotted according to the four scanning modes identified by Aguilar (1967), Weick and Daft (1983): undirected viewing, conditioned viewing, informal search, and formal search. 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 ...

Sitemap Design: Alphabetical or Categorical? In an attempt to sort out which sitemap design is most appropriate, we compared search performance with three of the major types of sitemap designs. The results from this study demonstrate that sitemaps with categorical menus are superior in both search performance and satisfaction to alphabetized, Index sitemaps.

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 ...

We asked users to find specific information in a web site by starting from one of two pagesthe sites home page or its site map. 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.

The first half briefly reviews a wide range key research to provide a broader context for understanding human information seeking behavior and a starting point for further exploration.

WHICH OF THESE activities occupies more of your time: foraging for food or surfing the Web? Peter Pirolli and Stuart Card are using foraging theories from ecology and anthropology to understand how people find information in data-rich environments such as the Internet. To test whether the theory produces useful results, Pirolli and Card set their model to work looking for information on a database.
