A brief description of the final project for this course is as follows:
Use field experience, observation, or other relevant experience to design
and conduct or describe a small user study. Students are expected to write
their major project paper based on this real-world experience or
evaluation of information seeking behaviors in the social context of
their choice and/with systems of their choice. The paper will be in the
form of a pilot study, small research proposal or research project. Curious
