(in conjunction with CSCW 2010, Savannah, Georgia, February 2010)
- position papers due November 20th

Although most digital information-seeking tools are designed for solo
use, studies have shown that groups of many types (e.g., students,
families, and knowledge workers) have shared information needs that are
not adequately served by status quo technologies. This workshop seeks to
bring together researchers with backgrounds in CSCW, social computing,
information retrieval, library sciences, and HCI to discuss the research
challenges associated with the emerging field of collaborative
information seeking. This workshop will serve as an opportunity to make
connections with researchers with diverse backgrounds, to learn about
participants' works-in-progress, and to brainstorm on topics of mutual
interest, such as developing standardized evaluation tasks for
collaborative information seeking systems and considering how new media
such as social networking and microblogging tools can play a role in
collaborative information seeking.
Questions? Contact the workshop organizers, Meredith Ringel Morris
(MSR), Gene Golovchinksy (FXPAL), and Jeremy Pickens (FXPAL) at
cscw2010@fxpal.com<mailto:cscw2010@fxpal.com>. This workshop follows
our first Workshop on Collaborative Information Seeking, which took
place at JCDL 2008 -- the first workshop resulted in a lot of great
ideas and a special issue of Information Processing and Management on
CIS, so we are excited to be able to bring this topic to the CSCW venue!
