"While content itself continues to form the foundation of modern information solutions, the real differentiator is becoming the broader "user experience." The Web, combined with sophisticated search engines and autonomous agents, has become the dominant worldwide search and retrieval system. It not only meets the information needs of its users, but also provides them with a highly satisfactory "experience" - from start to finish. The new generation of information seekers now expects a seamless, multi-sensory, interactive - and enjoyable - search experience that is their benchmark for an acceptable information retrieval service. Indeed, their product loyalty and satisfaction are "driven by a different set of values that goes beyond content and extends to the experience of using that content."
They day will include four panels:
"What Users Want"; The Search Interface; Current Search Technologies; and New and Emerging Technologies
