    Abstract
    Reviews the information systems methodologies that can be used to assist in the structuring of systems projects to create multimedia databases. Examines some of the options with a view to their supporting the design of user interfaces for public access systems. An initial exploration of the systems life cycle is followed by the key stages in any methodology. Describes a range of user centred methodologies, cooperative and participative methodologies and task oriented approaches to design. Introduces an object oriented methodology to the design of a multimedia graphic user interface

    Abstract
    This second part of a two-part article establishes a model of the mediating factors that influence student information behavior concerning the electronic or digital information sources used to support learning. This part discusses the findings of the Joint Information Systems Committee User Behavior Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (1999-2004) and development of a model that includes both the individual (micro) and organizational (macro) factors affecting student information behavior. The macro factors are information resource design, information and learning technology infrastructure, availability and constraints to access, policies and funding, and organizational leadership and culture. The micro factors are information literacy, academics' information behavior, search strategies, discipline and curriculum, support and training, and pedagogy. We conclude that the mediating factors interact in unexpected ways and that further research is needed to clarify how those interactions, particularly between the macro and micro factors, operate.

    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to propose a multi-dimensional taxonomy for information kiosk-based self service technologies (SSTs). This taxonomy has an important contribution to make to the integration of research and development, in relation to information kiosks. There are aspects that may also be extended to e-service, online service and self-service. Design/methodology/approach - The conceptual context for this work is established by a review of previous literature. This focuses on taxonomies and classification schemes relating to information kiosks, traditional services (p-services) and e-services. A comprehensive database of information kiosk technologies and their applications is constructed. Longitudinal observation of the development of information kiosk technologies is the basis for this and has been extended by web research. Findings - An iterative analysis of the kiosk database defines the nature of service delivery from kiosks, and supports the identification and verification of the dimensions and sub-dimensions of the taxonomy. It is informed by earlier classification schemes and taxonomies in the information kiosk, e-service and p-service literature. Originality/value - This taxonomy has four main dimensions: Location, User, Task and Technology. Sub-dimensions are developed for each of these main dimensions. It can be used to classify all information kiosks.

    Abstract
    All information systems should contribute to the competitive position of an organization and should therefore be strategic. Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) is the process of establishing a programme for the implementation and use of information systems so theat the effectiveness of the firm's information resources are optimized and used to support the objectives of the organization as much as possible. SISP involves matching computer applications with the objectives and corporate strategy of the organization. Starts by exploring the nature of a strategic information system and then process to outline the basic steps and features of an SISP. Reviews the criteria to be applied in the selection of an SISP
