当前Web上的搜索工具，如通用搜索引擎(如Google)和特定领域的门户网站(如MedlinePlus)，不提供指导用户形成适当排序的子目标的搜索程序。这种程序性知识的缺乏往往会导致用户在不熟悉的领域进行搜索来检索不完整的信息。在医疗保健等关键领域，这种无效的搜索可能会产生危险的后果。为了解决这种情况，我们开发了一种新型的域门户，称为战略中心。战略中心提供关键的搜索程序和相关的高质量链接，使用户能够找到全面和准确的信息。本文描述了我们如何与皮肤癌医生合作，系统地确定可推广的搜索程序，以查找有关黑色素瘤的全面信息，以及如何通过医疗保健战略中心提供这些搜索程序。一项初步研究表明，这种方法甚至可以提高专家搜索者的效率和满意度。最后，我们将深入了解如何改进Strategy Hub的设计，以及如何使用它来提供跨域的搜索过程。
Current search tools on the Web, such as general-purpose search engines (e.g. Google) and domain-specific portals (e.g. MEDLINEplus), do not provide search procedures that guide users to form appropriately ordered sub-goals. The lack of such procedural knowledge often leads users searching in unfamiliar domains to retrieve incomplete information. In critical domains such as in healthcare, such ineffective searches can have dangerous consequences. To address this situation, we developed a new type of domain portal called a Strategy Hub. Strategy Hubs provide the critical search procedures and associated high-quality links that enable users to find comprehensive and accurate information. This paper describes how we collaborated with skin cancer physicians to systematically identify generalizeable search procedures to find comprehensive information about melanoma, and how these search procedures were made available through the Strategy Hub for healthcare. A pilot study suggests that this approach can improve the efficacy, efficiency, and satisfaction of even expert searchers. We conclude with insights on how to refine the design of the Strategy Hub, and how it can be used to provide search procedures across domains.
