Abstract: The information field continues to evolve rapidly as digital technology
changes the very nature of information and how people interact with each other and
with information. This article argues that the past 30 years have seen a shift from
distinct emphases on information, individual people, and specific technologies to
emphases on the interactions among more diverse forms and amounts of information,
people, and technologies. Human–information interaction shifts the foci of all
aspects of information work; blurs boundaries between information objects,
technology, and people; and creates new forms of information. This article
discusses changes in each of these components of information and trends and
challenges surrounding the study of their interactions are presented.
