- Abstract
- The major attractions of building a Web based reference information system are described: software is virtually 'free'; required training is minimal; systems can be accessed by a variety of platforms; and reference librarians around the world are able to share their expertise. Discusses these points in the context of the evolution of reference information file systems and describes a prototype to show how to construct a basic Web based system

- Abstract
- Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of a number of human individual differences on the web searching of a sample of the general public. Design/methodology/approach - In total, 91 members of the general public performed 195 controlled searches. Search activity and ratings of search difficulty and success were recorded and statistically analysed. The study was exploratory, and sought to establish whether there is a prima facie case for further systematic investigation of the selection and combination of variables studied here. Findings - Results revealed a number of interactions between individual differences, the use of different search strategies, and levels of perceived search difficulty and success. The findings also suggest that the open and closed nature of searches may affect these interactions. A conceptual model of these relationships is presented. Practical implications - Better understanding of factors affecting searching may help one to develop more effective search support, whether in the form of personalised search interfaces and mechanisms, adaptive systems, training or help systems. However, the findings reveal a complexity and variability suggesting that there is little immediate prospect of developing any simple model capable of driving such systems. Originality/value - There are several areas of this research that make it unique: the study's focus on a sample of the general public; its use of search logs linked to personal data; its development of a novel search strategy classifier; its temporal modelling of how searches are transformed over time; and its illumination of four different types of experienced searcher, linked to different search behaviours and outcomes.

- Abstract
- Challenges the commonly accepted assumption: that Internet was designed solely for academic and research users; and that if other people are allowed to use it, the NREN will be as bad as Internet is claimed to be at present: with insufficient bandwidth and poor response times. Argues that when the NREN come online, the money to build it will come from the taxpayer. Proposes that there should be a national movement to develop free public access computerised community information systems analogous to the 19th century movement to develop free public libraries

- Abstract
- Supports the current opinion and practice concerning extending bibliographic instruction (BI) in academic libraries to larger forms of electronic access. However, the BI model of offering isolated classes is inappropriate - it ignores the fact that information finding is best taught as part of the broader scholarly process and the reality that exposure to systems like the WWW is increasingly initiated in academic courses. Presents an argument for a team-teaching model of information finding instruction, stressing the needs of doctoral students

- Abstract
- The quality of online health information for consumers has been a critical issue that concerns all stakeholders in healthcare. To gain an understanding of how quality is evaluated, this systematic review examined 165 articles in which researchers evaluated the quality of consumer-oriented health information on the web against predefined criteria. It was found that studies typically evaluated quality in relation to the substance and formality of content, as well as to the design of technological platforms. Attention to design, particularly interactivity, privacy, and social and cultural appropriateness is on the rise, which suggests the permeation of a user-centered perspective into the evaluation of health information systems, and a growing recognition of the need to study these systems from a social-technical perspective. Researchers used many preexisting instruments to facilitate evaluation of the formality of content; however, only a few were used in multiple studies, and their validity was questioned. The quality of content (i.e., accuracy and completeness) was always evaluated using proprietary instruments constructed based on medical guidelines or textbooks. The evaluation results revealed that the quality of health information varied across medical domains and across websites, and that the overall quality remained problematic. Future research is needed to examine the quality of user-generated content and to explore opportunities offered by emerging new media that can facilitate the consumer evaluation of health information.

- Abstract
- A research agenda for the study of digital reference is presented. The agenda stems from a research symposium held at Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts in August 2002. The agenda defines digital reference as "the use of human intermediation to answer questions in a digital environment." The agenda also proposes the central research question in digital reference: "How can human expertise be effectively and efficiently incorporated into information systems to answer user questions?" The definition and question are used to outline a research agenda centered an how the exploration of digital reference relates to other fields of inquiry.

- Abstract
- Provides a background to the work of the New York Public Library (NYPL). Explains how libraries without walls exploiting network technology can expand information access. Within a few years researchers using the Internet, the NREN or successor information highways will be able to remotely access the online catalogues of virtually every important library in the world. To exploit these developments in systems and telecommunications the NYPL has launched the Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL) due to open in 1995 as the nation's largest public information centre devoted to science and business. SIBL will combine NYPL's science and business collection into one library with 100 multimedia workstations and dial-in remote access and document delivery. NYPL has developed its own menu driven Internet gateway and is the first major public library in new York to make its electronic catalogues availale in the Internet

- Abstract
- Many discussions exist regarding the credibility of information on the Internet. Similar discussions happen on the interpretation of social scientific research data, for which information triangulation has been proposed as a useful method. In this article, we explore a design theory-consisting of a kernel theory, meta-requirements, and meta-designs-for software and services that triangulate Internet information. The kernel theory identifies 5 triangulation methods based on Churchman's inquiring systems theory and related meta-requirements. These meta-requirements are used to search for existing software and services that contain design features for Internet information triangulation tools. We discuss a prototyping study of the use of an information triangulator among 72 college students and how their use contributes to their opinion formation. From these findings, we conclude that triangulation tools can contribute to opinion formation by information consumers, especially when the tool is not a mere fact checker but includes the search and delivery of alternative views. Finally, we discuss other empirical propositions and design propositions for an agenda for triangulator developers and researchers. In particular, we propose investment in theory triangulation, that is, tools to automatically detect ethically and theoretically alternative information and views.
