Abstract(in English) In cooperative works where people gather on the same space for meeting and learning, there is a form of work where people collect the useful information by doing Web search and share the collected information with other users. In this research, we build a collaborative search tool using tablet terminals to support collecting and sharing information through Web search. This tool has a function to save the information collected through Web search as a small clip on the screen and send it by flicking toward the direction to a co-working user who should receive the information. Using this tool, users can share the useful information which is found through Web search with other users easily. By conducting an experiment to evaluate how correctly users can send a clip to other users, clips could be sent successfully in over 90% cases. However, in order to raise the correctness where several users are on the same direction, it is necessary to improve the transmission method. In addition, by observing the Web search activity done by a group working on some topic, it has been convinced that this tool could support collecting and sharing the information through Web search. On the other hand, further investigation would be required considering various factors such as the difference of user roles in a group and the distance among users in a working space.
