DESCRIPTION:Typically information search is treated as a simple isolated\ne
 vent – insert some keywords into a box and examine an array of\nsnippets\,
  and the job is considered finished. But the search for\ninformation is mo
 re complex than that and remains unsupported by\nexisting technologies tha
 t focus primarily on tuning search\nalgorithms.\n\nThis talk will examine 
 search as a process within the larger work\ntask and work environment to r
 econsider the design of that search\ninterface\, and the 'interface' of se
 arch within the larger work\ntask.\n \n--\nThe third speaker in SIS' Fall 
 2009 Speaker Series is Elaine\nToms\, Canada Research Chair in Management 
 Informatics\, Professor\nand Director\, iLab\, Faculty of Management\, Dal
 housie University.\nShe is a member of TAPoR\, the Text Analysis Portal fo
 r Research\,\nand NECTAR\, the Network for Effective Collaboration Through
 \nAdvanced Research. Her work has been funded by NSERC\, SSHRC\, OCLC\,\nH
 eritage Canada\, CFI and the CRC program. Prof. Toms’ research\nspans the 
 boundary at the computer interface\, understanding how\npeople use content
 -rich information systems effectively and\nefficiently\, and designing too
 ls to enable that use. Her current\nresearch includes understanding the ef
 fect of workplace\ninterruptions on knowledge work\; re-inventing a webcas
 ting\ninterface\; understanding collaborative information access and use\;
 \nenabling file sharing in knowledge work\; and\, measuring reputation\,\n
 experience\, engagement and relevance\, in addition to her focus on\ntools
  to access information.\n \nThe purpose of the SIS' Speaker Series is to g
 ive Ph.D. and\nmasters students in the School of Information Studies a\nbe
 hind-the-scenes glimpse at research and the research process.\nThere are f
 our speakers in the Fall term and another four speakers\nin the Winter 201
 0 term. Students and faculty from the Faculty of\nEducation as well as the
  wider ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community are invited to\nattend.\n
