Call for Papers Understanding Web search engine users Workshop at the 77th Annual Meeting of the Association of Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) October 31, 2014, Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA http://www.asis.org/asist2014/ Organized by Shari Thurow, Founder and SEO Director, Omni Marketing Interactive, USA Dirk Lewandowski, Professor, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany Matt Wallaert, Behavioral Scientist, Microsoft, USA INTRODUCTION Many researchers are interested in internet search behaviour, both as a primary action and as a secondary source of data that reflects the what, how, and why of information seeking. But despite that interest, we still lack a systematic research agenda on search engine use and searcher behaviours, perhaps because the potential for the data is so broad and the fields of study being applied so vast that it is difficult to coordinate and discuss across disciplines. Consequently, researchers usually focus on the methods popular in their fields, but are unaware of other methodological approaches and/or software tools that could help them achieve their research goals. Thus, by collaborating across disciplines, there is substantial opportunity to introduce new methods and research questions to investigators who are working along similar lines but without awareness of each other. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOME The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry, who are interested in understanding search engine use, both as a primary and secondary source to reflect on user behaviour. We are interested in discussing methods and results in various areas, aiming for establishing a research agenda for information science researchers interested in Web searching. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Theories of Web search engine user behaviours * Evaluating search engine user interfaces * Information retrieval evaluation methods applied to Web search engines * Query log analysis * Eye-tracking research * User guidance in the search process * Incorporating user behaviours into search engine optimization techniques * Usability and user experience in Web searching * Using and sharing information found through search engines * Understanding user behaviours through triangulation of methods (e.g., transaction-log analysis, lab-based studies, online questionnaires, diary studies) TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS The workshop invites short research papers and position papers, as well. We also welcome overviews of relevant research done within a research group over the last few years. Accepted submissions will be presented in a 20-minute presentation. At least one presenter must be present at the event and register for the workshop. Extended abstracts and presentations will be made available on the workshop website. There will be no formal workshop proceedings. Submissions should be in the form of extended abstracts (approx. 1,500 words) including references.

Please post the following announcement on the siguse listserv. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Dania. Dania Bilal, PI, and Jacek Gwizdka, Co-PI, Receive Google Research Award Dania Bilal, a Professor in the iSchool of Information Sciences at University of Tennessee, and Jacek Gwizdka, Assistant Professor in the School of Information and co-Director of the Information eXperience Lab at University of Texas at Austin, have received a $41,363 Google Research Award for a project titled "Child-friendly search engine results pages (SERPs): Towards better understanding of Google search results readability by children." In this project, Drs. Bilal and Gwizdka will investigate how children read and assess the reading levels of Google's search results pages (SERPs). One of the goals of this project is to modify Google's Reading Level metric. In making the Award, Google Research Team indicated, "we receive many strong proposals every round and conduct a very thorough review of all the submissions, involving several teams of Google engineers and researchers." According to Google web page, "The Google Research Awards are structured as unrestricted gifts to universities to support the work of world-class full-time faculty members at top universities around the world." Researchers from Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Oxford, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT are among the others to receive awards from Google in the human-computer interaction category, the focused area of Drs. Bilal's and Gwizdka's project. Dr. Bilal is one of most often-cited researchers worldwide on children's cognitive and affective information behavior in using and interacting with information retrieval systems in multicultural contexts. Her research is situated at the intersection of information retrieval, information behavior, and human-computer interaction. She teaches courses in information access and retrieval, human-computer interaction, Web mining, information systems design and implementation, and research methods. Dr. Jacek Gwizdka research is situated at the intersection of interactive-information retrieval (IIR) and human-computer interaction (HCI), where he is focusing on cognitive aspects of human-information interaction and on using eye-tracking to assess cognitive states of users. Dr. Gwizdka teaches in the area of human-computer interaction and user experience design. ************************************************************************************** "After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb."

These are entries that have been submitted, and I suspect there will be more opportunities for reviewers. I would appreciate hearing from interested SIG/USE members. Nancy Roderer nroderer at jhmi.edu
