Pressing Questions of the Information Age:17 Feb 2005
The Future of Information Search
Joseph Janes
Associate Professor, UW Information School

In reality, the search for information is a complex, subtle, ambiguous enterprise, often difficult and sometimes impossible. In this talk, Professor Janes will lay out some of those complexities, subtleties, ambiguities and difficulties, talk about a couple of examples of how search works, and look forward to where the world of searching might be going.
