Abstract

This chapter presents how mobile phones nowadays can be used as a handy and always around medium to interact with information collections of both physical and electronic form. It presents their evolution into powerful computing devices capable of communicating with other computing infrastructures, like the World Wide Web, and assisting them in finding the information of interest in the most convenient form, right when the need arises. It also provides a description of the current interaction modes between users, devices and information objects as well as some examples of first and second-generation mobile services. Furthermore, the authors hope that understanding the potential introduced by mobile phones in the modern information landscape can bring some insight to new information seeking strategies, that enhance exploration and not just querying. This understanding can be used to create new, innovative and novel services to enhance the seeking experience while interacting with hybrid information spaces.
