ABOUT CHIIR

CHIIR is a forum for the dissemination and discussion of research on the
user-centered aspects of information interaction and information
retrieval. CHIIR focuses on elements such as human involvement in search
activities, and information seeking and use in context. The conference
represents a merger of two successful past events: the Information
Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) and the Human Computer
Information Retrieval symposium (HCIR), which have run since 2006 and
2007, respectively. CHIIR is sponsored by ACM SIGIR and is in cooperation
with ACM SIGCHI.
