Abstract :
Collaborative querying seeks to help users formulate queries by sharing expert knowledge or other users´ search experiences. In our previous work, a Query Graph Visualizer (QGV) was developed for collaborative querying. In this paper, we report a collaborative querying environment (CQE) developed by incorporating the QGV into the existing OPAC system at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore
