PIM refers to both the practice and the study of the activities people perform to acquire, organize, maintain, and retrieve information for everyday use. This book's approach and major contribution to the field is the integrative treatment of PIM-related research. Growing out of a workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation, it brings together scholars from major universities and researchers from companies such as Microsoft Research, Google, and IBM.

Today, Web search is treated as a solitary experience. Web browsers and search engines are typically designed to support a single user, working alone. However, collaboration on information-seeking tasks is actually commonplace. Students work together to complete homework assignments, friends seek information about joint entertainment opportunities, family members jointly plan vacation travel, and colleagues jointly conduct research for their projects. As improved networking technologies and the rise of social media simplify the process of remote collaboration, and large, novel display form-factors simplify the process of co-located group work, researchers have begun to explore ways to facilitate collaboration on search tasks. This lecture investigates the who, what, where, when and why of collaborative search, and gives insight in how emerging solutions can address collaborators' needs.
