In the past year or two, the Web has started to become a place with enough real, trustworthy, and high quality resources to get work done. Our earlier work on sensemaking, which characterizes the processes and tradeoffs people use when solving complex information use problems, is applicable for Web work as well. In this talk, I report on observation studies of sensemakers using the WWW as a central resource, a study that has several unexpected outcomes. These observations will prove useful in creating new kinds of knowledge management technologies. |
