Shah focuses on two individually well-understood notions, collaboration and information seeking, with the goal of bringing them together to show how it is a natural tendency for humans to work together on complex tasks. The first part of his book introduces the general notions of collaboration and information seeking, as well as related concepts, terminology, and frameworks, and thus provides the reader with a comprehensive treatment of the concepts underlying CIS. The second part of the book details CIS as a standalone domain. A series of frameworks, theories, and models are introduced to provide a conceptual basis for CIS. The final part describes several systems and applications of CIS, along with their broader implications on other fields such as computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and human-computer interaction (HCI).

The Handbook of Community-Based Participatory Research is an important addition to Oxford University Presss outstanding line of books on public health and related topics because of widespread interest in community-based participatory research. It addresses important issues of concern, including health disparities; public health research involving racial and ethnic minority communities; the health of immigrants; womens health; maternal and child health; infant mortality; cancer screening; prevention of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes; cigarette smoking, physical activity, and diet; HIV/AIDS prevention; faith-based health interventions; gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender health; mental health; substance abuse; sexual assault and violence; urban health; rural health; environmental health and environmental justice; global health; research ethics; and public health ethics. This volume complements and explicates closely related developments such as community-based evaluative research, community-engaged research, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical and Translational Science Awards. The book should be of interest to public health researchers from academic institutions and state and federal agencies, graduate students, and to members of community coalitions, community advisory boards, and non-profit organizations and foundations.
