Abstract

The goal of this work is to gain a greater understanding of user behaviour during web information tasks in order to better support users on the Web. We have completed a field study examining information seeking behaviour on the Web and propose two further studies: an exploration of monitoring behaviour on the Web through semi-structured interviews and the development and validation of recommendations for the design of future web browser tools.
