Take Me Out: Space and Place in Library Interactions

G. Buchanan,D. Mckay,S. Makri

Published 2019 in Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval

ABSTRACT

Information interactions are strongly affected by the place where they occur. Specific locations are often associated with searches on particular topics, and individual users perform different tasks in habituated places. A classic example of habituated space is the commuter who regularly reads the news on the train. This paper investigates these associations through four user studies that examine different uses of place in information interaction. Through this, we reveal the ways in which the location of information interactions makes them effective or ineffective. This extends our interpretation of the role of place in information interaction beyond established foci such as location-based search.
