From Information Retrieval to Information Interaction

This paper argues that a new paradigm for information retrieval has evolved that incorporates human attention and mental effort and takes advantage of new types of information objects and relationships that have emerged in the WWW environment. One aspect of this new model is attention to highly interactive user interfaces that engage people directly and actively in information seeking. Two examples of these kinds of interfaces are described.
