Book Reviews of Information Seeking in Electronic Environments (Cambridge Series on Human-Computer Interaction)

Book Review: A must-read for Information Science students and researchers
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very well-explicated book on humans' information-seeking strategies. Dr. Marchionini gives a very comprehensive view of this process that includes many enlightening ideas on how our strategies have co-evolved with the progress of information systems, and how they are interleaved with learning and other cognitive processes. I am a researcher in this field and I find this book extremely valuable as the author explains everything in jargon-free language with examples to support his arguments. Although this book was published in 1995, it is still very relevant now in 2009. I would recommend that the author revise the book in order to expand it and include some of the new social networking technologies that have had a significant impact on information-seeking in electronic environments.
