In this paper, we report findings on an examination of the document selecting behaviors of people with different levels of domain knowledge (DK). We found that people with high and low DK levels generally select different sets of documents to view; those high in DK read more documents and gave higher relevance ratings for the documents they view than those low in DK. The reasons of the findings, as well as implications on systems design, are discussed.
