The goal of this research is to develop techniques and systems that help people solve information problems that are complex, general, or ongoing and when information seeking takes place over multiple intervals or in collaboration with other people. The approach is to first study how people seek information and interpret results of searches as they use multiple systems over time and in collaboration with emphasis given to managing and optionally sharing result sets and items. Second, based on these initial investigations, systems are designed that support dynamic search and visualization and can serve both as a personal information manager and a group information manager. Third, these tools are evaluated in field and laboratory settings. The research is linked to educational theories of active learning and is embedded in university student and research team information needs over multiple months. Students play an active role in this project by participating in the design and evaluation of the information seeking systems.The results of this research will provide guidance for designers of the next generation of systems that support a full range of complex information seeking needs. The project also contributes specific open source tools that people can easily adopt as plug-ins to popular web browsing software. Publications, software and other information items will be widely disseminated, including via the project Web site (http://www.ils.unc.edu/infoseek/). This work will thus have broad impact on Internet-based information activities in schools, homes, offices, and research laboratories.

这项研究的目标是开发技术和系统，帮助人们解决复杂的，一般的或正在进行的信息问题，当信息搜索发生在多个时间间隔或与其他人合作。 方法是首先研究人们如何随着时间的推移以及协作使用多个系统时寻求信息和解释搜索结果，重点是管理和可选地共享结果集和项目。 其次，基于这些初步调查，系统的设计，支持动态搜索和可视化，可以作为一个个人信息管理器和一个组信息管理器。第三，在实地和实验室环境中对这些工具进行评估。 这项研究与主动学习的教育理论有关，并在多个月内嵌入大学生和研究团队的信息需求。学生们通过参与信息搜索系统的设计和评估，在本项目中发挥了积极的作用。本研究的结果将为支持全方位复杂信息搜索需求的下一代系统的设计者提供指导。 该项目还提供了特定的开放源码工具，人们可以很容易地将其作为流行网络浏览软件的插件。将广泛散发出版物、软件和其他资料，包括通过项目网址（http：//www.ils.unc.edu/infoseek/）散发。因此，这项工作将对学校、家庭、办公室和研究实验室中基于因特网的信息活动产生广泛影响。
