The Multi-Stage Experience: the Simulated Work Task Approach to Studying Information Seeking Stages

Huurdeman, Hugo; Kamps, Jaap; Wilson, Max L.

Abstract

This experience paper shines more light on a simulated work task approach to studying information seeking stages. This explicit multistage approach was first utilized in Huurdeman, Wilson, and Kamps [14] to investigate the utility of search user interface (SUI) features at different macro-level stages of complex tasks. We focus on the paper’s terminology, research design, methodology and use of previous resources. Finally, based on our experience, we reflect on the potential for re-using our multistage approach and on general barriers to re-use in an Interactive Information Retrieval research context.
