title = "Asking the right person: Supporting expertise selection in the enterprise",
abstract = "Expertise selection is the process of choosing an expert from a list of recommended people. This is an important and nuanced step in expertise location that has not received a great deal of attention. Through a lab-based, controlled investigation with 35 enterprise workers, we found that presenting additional information about each recommended person in a search result list led participants to make quicker and better-informed selections. We also asked participants to rate the type of information that might be most useful for expertise selection on a paper prototype containing 36 types of potentially helpful information. We identified sixteen types of this information that may be most useful for various expertise selection tasks. These results focus attention on a currently understudied aspect of expertise location-expertise selection-that could greatly improve the usefulness of supporting systems.",
