Abstract:
|
A novel method named collaborative query previews (CQPs) to augment information seeking
in digital libraries is proposed. CQPs aim to help users make better sense of the collection of a
digital library from two perspectives: query previews and recommendations of past queries.
Query previews generate overviews about a collection of documents through a set of aggregate
information on selected attributes. As a user issues queries, related queries submitted previously
by other users are recommended. By obtaining overview information and utilizing other user’s
experiences in retrieving information, a user is expected to formulate queries that better meet
information needs. A prototype work environment incorporating CQPs has been developed and
described in this paper. |
