Information for People

Ordinary people have access to unprecedented volumes of information today. Researchers in the fields of information management (IM) and human-computer interaction (HCI) are reacting to this challenge from their own unique perspectives. Having access to a billion records is cool, but having access to a billion people is awesome. In this paper, we look at recent research from both communities, and speculate on how interactions between the communities could enhance the user experience of information.
