“…This work inspired a subsequent study of games designers' information-based ideation behavior (Makri et al, 2019). This JASIST article, ideation as an intellectual information acquisition and use context: Investigating game designers' information-based ideation behavior, identified various information behaviors important for design ideation (e.g., immersing, unblocking, and externalizing).…”

“…They suggested digital satisficing can be better supported by allowing people to examine semantic features of surrogate information (e.g., for books, tone, length, and presentation), seeding by search by allowing users to examine an item in detail while maintaining a sense of their other choices (e.g., through within‐item recommendations), seeding by location by allowing users to easily return to previously visited locations (e.g., through persistent place marking), and wandering by allowing users to see an overview of topics or collections, then “zoom” into and “pan” across items on the topic or within the collection. Despite recognition as an important form of information‐seeking and encountering (Makri, Hsueh, & Jones, 2019), browsing is still poorly supported in digital information environments. There is much scope for developing novel browsing functionality, and for better supporting smooth, dynamic transitioning from searching to browsing, and vice versa.…”

This debut curated "virtual special issue" of JASIST is on the theme of "information informing design." It comprises several excellent scholarly research articles previously published in JASIST with important implications for the design of digital information environments. It covers articles that motivate the need for Information Science research to inform design and those that have empirically examined informationrelated concepts such as information behavior, practices, interaction, and experience and, based on their findings, proposed recommendations or posed questions for design. This article argues that as JASIST exists at the intersection between information, systems, and users, it is natural to want to understand how people engage with information to inform design and, by doing so, Information Science research can build bridges between Information Science and computing disciplines and make contributions that transcend its discipline boundaries. It argues that Information Science research not only has the potential but also the duty to inform the design of future digital information environments.

“…The value and efficacy of this technique has been attested by studies in a widening range of areas including HCI (e.g. Capra, 2002;Kaye, 2015;Makri, Hsueh, & Jones, 2018;Skågeby, 2019). The study by Capra (2002),for example,highlights its strength that lies in its suitability for remote studies where participants use interfaces 'in-the-wild' for daily tasks.…”

Part of Human-computer interaction (HCI)researchevolves around understanding of the experiential aspects of users -their what, why and how of technology use in the domestic setting which is always privy to the users. The process of understanding is often not straightforward and a reliable means to develop thisHCI knowledge is deemed necessary. This article describes a study whereCritical Incident Technique (CIT) was adapted to HCI research and applied in the context of social messaging system use in understanding technology-mediated familial bonding enactment.CIT often involves the recalled critical incidents – or significant instances of a specific activity as experienced by research participants to recognize similarities, differences, and patterns, and to seek insights into how and why people engage in the activity of interest.However, such approach may contaminate the reliability and trustworthiness of the findings. Thus, our adapted version of CIT utilizes the procedures and logic of CIT, but differs in two ways: 1) Relying on situated and informants’ genuine critical incidents to elicit experience of interaction and 2) ‘uncritical’ incidents were also included as complementary to critical incidents to cueing informants on the phenomenon of interest. This uncritical incident represents negative evidence to counter the drawback of existing technique.Considering both critical and uncritical incidents in the studyhas provided a bigger picture and rich descriptions of the technology-mediated familialbonding enactment from both lens ofgenuine incidents and informants.

“…Unlike expressly seeking information, encountering involves information seeking you ; serendipitous information encounters can happen when looking for information on a different topic, when not looking for any particular information, or not looking for information at all (Erdelez & Makri, 2020). Passive encountering has traditionally been under‐researched as compared to active forms of acquisition, particularly search, but is increasingly being recognised as an important means of finding information and of creating new knowledge (Makri et al, 2019). While this form of serendipitous information acquisition often occurs during active search, this is as an unintended byproduct (Makri et al, 2014).…”

The ubiquitous search box promised to democratize knowledge access by making information universally accessible. But while many search engines cater well for certain user groups, information tasks and content types, they cater poorly for others. Poorly-served users include those with certain types of impairment (e.g. dyslexia), and weakly-supported tasks include highly exploratory goals, where it can be difficult to express information needed as a query. Furthermore, the overdominance of search functionality in many information environments has restricted support for other important forms of information acquisition, such as serendipitous information encountering and creative 'inspiration hunting.' Search results and recommendations can also promote certain types of content due to algorithmic bias. Rather than act as a great leveler by making information acquisition effective, efficient and enjoyable for all, search engines often unfairly favor some types of user, task or content over others. In short, search is not always equitable. This panel discussion will elucidate the inequity of search as an information acquisition paradigm from multiple perspectives and propose design principles to ensure more equitable information acquisition.
