- Abstract
- The success or failure of social media is highly dependent on the active participation of its users. In order to examine the influential factors that inspire dynamic and eager participation, this study investigates what motivates social media users to share their personal experiences, information, and social support with anonymous others. A variety of information-sharing activities in social media, including creating postings, photos, and videos in 5 different types of social media: Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, YouTube, and Flickr, were observed. Ten factors: enjoyment, self-efficacy, learning, personal gain, altruism, empathy, social engagement, community interest, reciprocity, and reputation, were tested to identify the motivations of social media users based on reviews of major motivation theories and models. Findings from this study indicate that all of the 10 motivations are influential in encouraging users' information sharing to some degree and strongly correlate with one another. At the same time, motivations differ across the 5 types of social media, given that they deliver different information content and serve different purposes. Understanding such differences in motivations could benefit social media developers and those organizations or institutes that would like to use social media to facilitate communication among their community members; appropriate types of social media could be chosen that would fit their own purposes and they could develop strategies that would encourage their members to contribute to their communities through social media.

- Abstract
- There is very little qualitative data on what impact the Internet is having on information seeking in the workplace. Using open-ended interviews, questionnaires and observation, the impact of the Internet on the British Media was assessed. The focus was largely on newspapers, with The Guardian being covered in some depth. Over 300 journalists and media librarians were surveyed. It was found that amongst traditional journalists use was light. Poor access to the Internet - and good access to other information resources - were largely the reasons for this. Of the journalists it was mainly the older and more senior journalists and the New Media journalists who used the Internet. Librarians were also significant users. Searching the World Wide Web was the principal Internet activity and use was generally conservative in character. Newspapers and official sites were favoured, and searches were mainly of a fact-checking nature. Email was used on a very limited scale and was not regarded as a serious journalistic tool. Non-users were partly put off by the Internet's potential for overloading them with information and its reputation for producing information of suspect quality. Users generally dismissed these concerns, dealing with potential overload and quality problems largely by using authoritative sites and exploiting the lower quality data where it was needed. Where the Internet has been used it has not been at the expense of other information sources or communication channels, but online hosts seem to be at most risk in the future.

- Abstract
- Discusses some obstacles to the use of electronic information. Outlines the major differences between information from online, CD-ROM and Web sources. Analyzes data from Arhus Public Library's (Denmak) business information services, 1992-96, citing electronic information media as the reason for the decrease in the number of enquiries after 1994. States that future users of electronic information will need a more professional attitude and new skills. Defines a concept of 'Web information literacy' and discusses 2 implications: knowledge about the Internet and its resources, and innovativeness as a major component in Internet user skills

- Abstract
- Predicts that, as electronic reference services continue to broaden in scope and complex requests are negotiated by remote users via electronic mail, the e-mail reference interview will become commonplace. The difficulties of conducting e-mail reference interviews have been noted in the literature, but resaerch in this area is lacking. Reports results of a 3 phased project at the College of Library and Information Services (CLIS), Maryland University, to study the process. Discusses differences between e-mail reference interviews and those conducted using other media; presents a taxonomy of approaches to e-amil reference interviews; proposes the use of a systematic approach, and describes a model e-mail reference interview. Results suggest that reference interviews can be conducted via e-amil for some complex questions. However, further testing is required by experienced intermediaries working under the pressures of client deadlines and institutional constraints

- Abstract
- Reports results of a questionnaire survey, conducted by the School of Information and Media, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, between June and November 1997, to compare and contrast the range and value of use of the Internet with traditional reference sources in Scottish public libraries. Data was collected on the extent of Internet connectivity in Scottish public libraries in 1995, the uses of the Internet in public libraries and the percentages of library staff using it and the type of work for which they are using it. The current study built upon the work of the UKOLN survey by looking at the use of the Internet in reference work by library reference staff in comparison to their usage of traditional printed sources. Recommends that consideration ahould be given to obtaining additional external funding for Internet and WWW access, authorities should consider allocating more resources to training reference staff in Internet use, consideration should be given to providing reference staff with training on the technical difficulties associated with using the Internet and information on authoritative, quality Web sites should be made available to reference staff in all public libraries

- 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.
