“…We will not truly benefit from the "wisdom of crowds". From the literature on collaborative information seeking, it is also clear that a wider spectrum of topics need to be covered such as collaborative information retrieval (Karamuftuoglu 1998), communities of practice, virtual communities and virtual learning environments (Ellis, Oldridge & Vasconcelos 2003), tasked-based information seeking (Vakkari 2003), collaborative information behaviour in large groups (Richter, Bray & Dutton 2010), information seeking in order to produce information (Hirsh & Dinkelacker 2004), group communication theory and research (Frey 1999), social intelligence (Cronin & Davenport 1993), collaboratories (Finholt 2002), workplace studies and technological change (Garcia et al 2006), the importance of trust (Marsh & Dibben 2003), scholarship and disciplinary practices (Palmer & Cragin 2008), collaborative tagging (Hunter 2009) -and the realities of emotion and affect (Nahl 2007). The latter is raising interest in studies of information behaviour but not necessarily with regard to collaboration (Nahl & Bilal 2007).…”
