This special issue of the journal Future Internet seeks papers
reporting high quality theoretical or empirical studies of Web
information behavior. Web technologies seek to support people’s
information behavior. Web information behavior is an important topic
area for the future internet, the Web search engine companies and the
information research community. The future internet will be shaped by
people’s information behavior and the technologies developed to
support those information behaviors. Web information behavior research
includes a diverse range of theoretical and empirical approaches,
including individual or collaborative models, information seeking,
information foraging, information sense-making, information
organising, information using and Web search (including
interactive/cognitive information retrieval). Modeling people's Web
information behavior is a major multidisciplinary research challenge,
including fields such as computer science, library and information
science, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, communication
studies, information systems, etc.
High quality research papers are sought on any aspect of modeling or
technologically supporting individual or collaborative Web information
behavior, including information seeking, information foraging,
information sense-making, information organising, information using
and Web search approaches.
