It is therefore a central problem for IR to understand how to support a variety of interactive strategies, and furthermore, to provide ways to adaptively assist users as they employ different strategies in their attempts to achieve their information seeking goals. This study addresses this issue by investigating the relationship between users' information seeking goals and their information seeking behavior. The particular focus of this study is on specifying hierarchical levels of users' goals, and the in-depth examination of one micro-goal level--"interactive intentions"--in relation to information seeking strategies. This study is based on the idea of IR as interaction, and attempts to address the relationship between planned and situated aspects of IR interaction. |
