 Congratulations to Dr. Amanda Spink and co-author Dr.
Bernard J. Jansen on their newly published book: Web
Search: Public Searching of the Web. Drs. Amanda Spink and Bernard
J. Jansen have worked together since 1997 on Web research
studies and are currently analyzing data from the Vivisimo
Web search engine. The book is one of the first manuscripts
that address the human - system interaction of Web searching
in a thorough and complete manner. The authors provide
an examination of the nature and trends in Web searching
from multiple levels of analysis, from theoretical overview
to detailed study of term usage, and integrate these different
levels of analysis into a coherent picture of how people
locate information on the Web using search engines.
It has already sold more than 200 copies and has peeked
curiosity with many people including Business Week.
We are very pleased that Dr. Spink is a member of the
SIS faculty and wish her continued success with future
teaching, research, and publishing. |
