There are three primary reasons for considering this issue: to understand the nature of people's information seeking tasks, to investigate the ways in which they attempt to execute tasks in their IR system interactions, and to facilitate the development and design of an IR system so that it serves people's task goals and buttresses their task-related information seeking behaviors. The specific goal for the study is to understand how people's interactions in digital environments are influenced by task. This study attempted to identify the types of task that represent Web users' diverse information needs. It also sought to understand how types of tasks connect to information seeking behaviors. Specifically, this study investigated how different types of tasks can be related to different searching behaviors. |
