Abstract

Describes a project which monitored electronically 11 public access terminals, at the Colorado University Librarys, to produce transaction logs that were used to gather statistics and analyze the behaviour of users when searching the library online catalogues. The study recorded user behaviour unobtrusively and focused exclusively on what actually occured during the search process. Among other findings it was revealed that the use of system supplied search aids varied, from low use of quick search and express search features, to more extensive use of search history and searching databases other than the home catalogue. Analysis of search results revealed that 66% of subject (keyword) and name searches produce 10 or fewer results, and 82% produce 25 or fewer titles, a manageable number for searchers to scan postings and spot relevant materials. User persistence in scanning titles was found to be high with the full list being requested for nearly 40% of searches netting up to 100 results. Overall, results show that emphasis on improved system design must be stressed if the needs of the majority of searchers are to be met more effectively

Abstract

It is common to distinguish sharply between leisure reading undertaken purely for pleasure and utilitarian reading that satisfies what Peter Mann (1969, 53-61) has called `extrinsic' interests: reference materials for work and home such as medical books, cook books and repair manuals. We might suppose that information-seeking is concerned only with utilitarian reading. However, once we adopt a definition of information as something that fills in a gap in understanding or makes a difference to an individual's cognitive structure or helps people with their lives, it follows that we cannot deduce uses simply by looking at the texts themselves. Since meanings are constructed by readers, we must ask the readers about the uses they make of texts in the context of their lives. Findings from a research project focussed on 194 readers who read for pleasure indicate that for a broad understanding of the information behaviour of ordinary people, we need to think beyond reference books to include extended narrative forms, particularly biography, history, and fiction. People who are avid readers for pleasure report that during the course of wide reading they serendipitously encounter information that helps them in their lives

Abstract

A survey of 4,032 youth in grades 5 through 12 was conducted to determine the impact youth's use of the Internet was having on their use of the public library. Results indicated that 100% of the youth had access to the Internet from one or more locations, and that although one quarter of the youth accessed the Internet at the public library, the public library was the least frequently used source of Internet access. For youth without Internet access at home, the public library was also the least used alternate source of access. Approximately 69% of the youth reported that they had visited a public library during the school year. Having Internet access at home did not affect whether or not youth visited the library however, Internet access at home appears to have affected the frequency with which youth visit the library. Youth without Internet access at home visited the library more frequently, whereas youth with Internet access at home visited the library less frequently. Use of the Internet also appeared to have diminished youth's need to use the public library as a source of personal information however, use of the Internet appeared not to have affected their use of the public library for school work or for recreation. Among youth, use of both the Internet and the public library appear to be complementary activities.

Abstract

The use and application of knowledge organization concepts and designs is pervasive in this current global learning society. Individuals, groups and organizations benefit from these knowledge organization tools to improve and enhance learning and system workflows. Practitioners in many disciplines deal with conflicts and problems encountered in managing and enhancing information with solutions and strategies that are inherent and unique in their respective domains, yet germane to the Information Science field. Classification theory is one such Information Science concept that plays a crucial role when organizing the body of knowledge in all disciplines, including Nursing. Determining the medical necessity of clients who require home care nursing is often onerous to prove. Nurses can use a classification scheme to establish nursing care that is reasonable and necessary for potential home care clients. This classification mechanism can be useful when determining the criteria for skill need required for reimbursement by Medicare and other health insurance payors. This research is an exploratory attempt at developing this practical tool. Nurses with home care experience were surveyed and interviewed using home care scenarios. The focus was on how nurses qualify home care clients' appropriateness for services and their medical necessity. The result was a tri-level classificatory scheme to outline this process and its ontological representation.

Abstract

The communication facilities provided by the Internet and navigators to retrieve information are providing additional routes to support scholars' needs to communicate research results qurickly and effectively. The WWW with its URL protocol, hypertext and multimedia support, and client/server architecture, provides advanced communication possibilities to scholars. Discusses these possibilities in order to establish the viabiblity of utilising the WWW to supplement scholarly communication. A home page and home files could be departure points from which scholars could create an integrated working environment with regard to their research and teaching. Proposes the idea of a personal scientific home page with examples of how hypertext links to different information media could stimulate and enhance the individual's communication process

Abstract

Describes an experiment in which a cataloguer at the Michigan State Univeristy (MSU) libraries worked at home 2 days a week. Access was provided to OCLC, and the MSU libraries' online catalogue. Printed copies of tools such as AACR and format documents were provided and on return to the library the cataloguer finalized the records by consulting the classification schedules and LCSH before the records were loaded onto the OCLC file. The telecommuter found home a good environment for work and telecommunications satisfactory but the work becam fragmented, especially when the fairly extensive reviewing necessary to complete records in the library was delayed by meetings or other tasks. However, the programme at MSU continues in an abbreviated form and seems particularly suited for short term contracts to catalogue special collections or donations

Abstract

Presents a Guided tour system for the WWW, called Ariadne, which implements the ideas of trails and guided tours, originating from the hypertext field. Ariadne appears as a Java applet to the user and it stores guided tours in a database format separated from the WWW documents included in the tour. Itd main advantages are: an independent user interface which does not affect the layout of the documents being part of the tour, branching tours where the user may follow alternative routes, composition of existing tours into aggregate tours, overview map with indication of which parts of a tour have been visited an support for getting back on track. Ariadne is available as a research prototype, and it has been tested among a group of university students as well as casual users on the Internet

Abstract

The WWW is a rich source of information, but is disorganised. Automatic search engines are imperfect, but probably adequate for most searches which only require a result, not comprehensiveness. Librarians can use their information organizing skills to create home pages

Abstract

Automatic categorization is a viable method to deal with the scaling problem on the World Wide Web. For Web site classification, this paper proposes the use of Web pages linked with the home page in a different manner from the sole use of home pages in previous research. To implement our proposed method, we derive a scheme for Web site classification based on the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) approach. It consists of three phases: Web page selection (connectivity analysis), Web page classification, and Web site classification. Given a Web site, the Web page selection chooses several representative Web pages using connectivity analysis. The k-NN classifier next classifies each of the selected Web pages. Finally, the classified Web pages are extended to a classification of the entire Web site. To improve performance, we supplement the k-NN approach with a feature selection method and a term weighting scheme using markup tags, and also reform its document-document similarity measure. In our experiments on a Korean commercial Web directory, the proposed system, using both a home page and its linked pages, improved the performance of micro-averaging breakeven point by 30.02%, compared with an ordinary classification which uses a home page only.

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to elaborate how source preference criteria are defined in the context of everyday projects that require the seeking of problem-specific information. More specifically, to find out how information seekers explain their preference criteria by characterizing the perceived strengths and weaknesses of diverse sources. Design/methodology/approach - The approach takes the form of qualitative content analysis of empirical data gathered by semi-structured interviews with 16 prospective home buyers in 2008. The source preference criteria were elicited by making use of the construct of information source horizon. Findings - Networked sources were favoured most strongly, followed by printed media, human sources and organizational sources. Content of information was the primary source preference criterion. Availability of information was a fairly important criterion, while user characteristics, usability of information and situational factors were fairly marginal in this regard. In the definition of the preference criteria, more emphasis was placed on the perceived strengths than weaknesses of sources. Positive qualities such as "provides updated information" were referred to particularly while judging the relevance of the networked sources. Negative qualities like "outdated information" were primarily associated with printed media and organizational sources. Research limitations/implications - The study is exploratory, drawing on a relatively small sample recruited through a web-based service. Thus, the findings cannot be generalized to prospective home buyers. Practical implications - Prospective home buyers tend to favour web-based information sources and services. They should provide the customers with detailed information about the property, including photos. Originality/value - The paper specifies the picture of user-defined relevance judgment in the context of everyday life information seeking.

Abstract

Reviews the situation of newspapers in the US in the context of the current transition to home interactive information services. There is no doubt that the coming braodband interactive channels to the home will offer full electronic counterparts of a newspaper - services that embody the printed word as well as graphics, art, sound, and photographs, and that are personalized, intreractive, multimedia, with a full range of content, adevertiser and reader features. Examines whether the familiar daily printed newspaper roles can survive in the emerging environment; and what will be the roles, if any, of today's newspaper companies in the production or delivery of a fully electronic newspaper
