Abstract
AbstractInformation seeking and use research generates numerous results on how users approach systems. Why then does it seem that something is lost in translation between research results and systems design? Panelists will discuss their experiences with incorporating the findings of information behavior research in system design. This panel focuses on the gap between the research on information seeking and use and its applications to systems design. Panelists from industry and academia will address the following issues: Why is there a gap between research and design practice? How can that gap be characterized? What are the obstacles to applying information behavior research to system design? How can these be overcome? What is the role of information behavior research in development projects? Howe can research results more effectively benefit design? How can researchers become more involved in influencing design? What is needed to improve communication between information behavior researchers and others involved in the design of information systems? How can systems designers, vendors, and librarians who purchase and customize commercial and open source information systems address these issues?
