摘要：In 2008, Julie Jones, then at Cornell
and now at the University of
Connecticut, won the AALL
LexisNexis Call for Papers competition
with an entry that was eventually
published in the winter 2009 issue of
Law Library Journal as “Not Just Key
Numbers and Keywords Anymore:
How User Interface Design Affects Legal
Research.” I was first exposed to Jones’
research when she made a presentation
at the American Association of Law
Schools annual meeting in January 2009.
Jones cast information-seeking behavior
as a bear searching for the richest food
sources in the wilderness. She analogized
the results of queries to the scents a bear
might follow to find either berry bushes
or salmon.
