国内外信息偶遇研究的回顾与展望

Information Encountering Research : Retrospect and Prospect

用户在信息浏览、信息检索的过程中,经常会意外发现自己感兴趣或有价值的信息,这一现象被称为"信息偶遇"。系统梳理国内外有关信息偶遇的研究文献,有助于归纳现有的研究主题及内容,为今后的研究提供参照。对信息偶遇的研究在20世纪60年代就已经起步,研究主题涉及信息偶遇的概念界定、行为过程、发生机制、促进信息偶遇发生的环境设计和具体实例等。通过对国内外研究成果的系统梳理可以发现,今后的研究需要综合运用多学科的研究方法,面向偶遇信息利用、促进信息偶遇发生的本土化策略以及移动端信息偶遇的环境设计等问题展开。

In the process of information exploration and retrieval,the users frequently find out interesting or valuable information without purpose,this phenomenon is defined as information encountering.The study on this phenomenon started in the 1960 s,so far the classical subjects referred to the concept of information encountering,its process,generative mechanism and the strategies to stimulate this phenomenon.Through a systematic review on the literature,it is concluded that the future research should be conducted by methodologies across the boundary of disciplines and focused on three topics:the exploitation of encountered information,the localized strategies to stimulate these behaviors and the environment design for the information encountering based on the mobile terminals.
