Abstract

Goals and corresponding tasks are both major drivers of information needs which are satisfied within information behaviours and lead to information tasks and finally information retrieval. Changing goals or a changing information need and task interruption during execution are the two most challenging barriers of people working on complex and longitudinal goals or tasks. People often have problems re-locating already visited pages or recapturing previous queries and their results. Thus the support of task-based information retrieval is still not sufficient today. Due to this we examined new concepts that make task-based information retrieval more efficient and useful.
