[edit] Notes on Rieh 2004, 3-17-08

Maybe I skipped over this before but there's a pretty useful breakdown of context here, which she takes from Xie (2000, Journal Am Soc Info Sci), who I think is a colleague of hers:

  • long-term goals
  • leading searching goals
  • current search goals
  • interactive intentions.

I like this granularity -- it identifies that a single search may not be a good measure of satisfaction as they may want to search for a long-running interest. The leading search is the current instance of that long goal, and the current search is she says "the specific search result a user seeks" -- I feel like that means search string, but I'm not totally confident of that. "Interactive intentions" is great because it gives you room to look at failures of particular strings I guess or interface issues, and Rieh makes it sound like cognitive subtasks.

Am seeing a lot of emphasis in various sources (Pirolli, Kulthau? Case?) on amount of time available/cost of expended energy as an endpoint. Pirolli in particular talks about diminishing returns.
