The expanding circles of information behavior and human–computer interaction - Gorichanaz 2021

This article discusses the historical expansion and confluence of the fields of information behavior and human–computer interaction. Human–computer interaction came out of computer science and human factors engineering in the 1960s. In recent decades, these two fields' origins, aims, and discourses have converged. In this piece, we map this convergence and examine information's future. We describe their scholarly paradigms as growing circles, and we show that information behavior and human–computer interaction are expanding in ontology, epistemology, and axiology. While the two fields' scholarly discourses remain separate, we advise acknowledging their common components. Some recommendations are linked to the iSchool Movement.
