Abstract
We reported a study that analyzes collaborative information behavior of small groups in an online math discourse community. Taking group as the unit of analysis, we analyzed the social interactions of participants engaged in collaborative math problem solving and examined how they seek for information in such context. Participants look for information oriented to the procedure, problem, context, and social aspects. Various resources and methods are observed being used by participants to satisfy their information needs. These findings help us understand social interactions and online communities. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
