Collaborative Information Retrieval (CIR) is the process by which people search for and retrieve information, typically using documents as data sources. Shared computing surfaces that utilise multi-touch interaction can allow multiple users to interact around a shared display. This paper describes the design and evaluation of a prototype system to support CIR, named Co-IMBRA. Co-IMBRA was developed to allow multiple users to retrieve information, using the Internet as a shared information space. Documents are represented as visual objects that can be manipulated on a multi-touch surface, annotated, rated and added to folders. Co-IMBRA was evaluated using a user study to determine whether the multi-touch interaction techniques effectively supported CIR. The results showed that Co-IMBRA can be used to effectively support and encourage CIR.
