Product Description:
Social navigation is a vibrant new field which examines how we navigate information spaces in 'real' and 'virtual' environments, how we orient and guide ourselves, and how we interact with and use others to find our way in information spaces. This approach brings a new way of thinking about how we design information spaces, emphasising our need to see others, collaborate with them, and follow the trails of their activities in these spaces. Social Navigation of Information Space is the first major work in this field, and includes contributions by many of the originators and key thinkers. It will be of particular interest to researchers and students in areas related to CSCW and human computer interaction. As a thoroughly multi-disciplinary topic, it will also be of interest to researchers in cognitive psychology, social psychology, philosophy, linguistics, sociology, architecture and anthropology.

Rating: - social navigation and recommender systems
Social Navigation provides a comprehensive overview of research issues surrounding the social aspects of navigating the net. An interdisciplinary group of scholars has examined the issue of information navigation from a number of perspectives. Most chapters are theoretical but many authors provide practical examples ranging from designing information spaces to studies of work. The book is extremely expensive, but probably worth the price for people interested in researching this topic.
