- Abstract
- In information needs, seeking and use (INSU) research, individuals have most commonly been perceived as users (e.g., Kuhlthau, 1991; Dervin & Nilan, 1986; Dervin, 1989; Belkin, 1980). The concept user originates from the user of libraries and other information services and information systems. Over the years the scope of the concept has become wider and it is nowadays often understood in the sense of seekers of information (e.g., Wilson, 1981; Marchionini, 1995) and users of information (e.g., Streatfield, 1983). Nevertheless, the concept has remained ambiguous by being on the one hand universal and on the other hand extremely specific. The purpose of this paper is to map and evaluate views on people whose information behaviour has been in one way or another the core of our research area. The goal is to shed some light on various relationships between the different aspects of doers in INSU studies. The paper is inspired by Dervin's (1997) analysis of context where she identified among other themes the nature of subject by contrasting a `transcendental individual' with a `decentered subject', and Talja's (1997) presentation about constituting `information' and `user' from the discourse analytic viewpoint as opposed to the cognitive viewpoint. Instead of the metatheoretical approach applied by Dervin and Talja, a more concrete approach is valid in the present analysis where no direct arguments for or against the underlying metatheories are itemised. The focus is on doers in INSU studies leaving other, even closely-related concepts (i.e., information, information seeking, knowledge etc.), outside the scope of the paper.

- Abstract
- This article reports the findings of a qualitative research study that examined professional image users' knowledge of, and interest in using, content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems in an attempt to clarify when and where CBIR methods might be applied. The research sought to determine the differences in the perceived usefulness of CBIR technologies among image user groups from several domains and explicate the reasons given regarding the utility of CBIR systems for their professional tasks. Twenty participants (archaeologists, architects, art historians, and artists), individuals who rely on images of cultural materials in the performance of their work, took part in the study. The findings of the study reveal that interest in CBIR methods varied among the different professional user communities. Individuals who showed an interest in these systems were primarily those concerned with the formal characteristics (i.e., color, shape, composition, and texture) of the images being sought. In contrast, those participants who expressed a strong interest in images of known items, images illustrating themes, and/or items from specific locations believe concept-based searches to be the most direct route. These image users did not see a practical application for CBIR systems in their current work routines.

- Abstract
- A search for information can be viewed as a series of decisions made by the searcher. Two dimensions of the search environment affect a user's decisions: the user's knowledge, and the configuration of the information retrieval system. Drawing an previous findings an users' lack of search or domain knowledge, this article investigates what the user needs to know to make informed search decisions at the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Web site, which provides statistical information an labor and related topics. Its extensive Web site is a rich collection of statistical information, ranging from individual statistics such as the current Consumer Price Index (CM), to a [arge statistical database called LABSTAT that can be queried to construct a tabie or time series an the fly. Two models of the search environment and the query process in LABSTAT are presented. They provide complementary views of the decision points at which help may be needed, and also suggest useful help content. Extensive examples based an the industry concept illustrate how the information could assist users' search decisions. The article concludes with a discussion of the role of help facilities in Web searching, and the interesting question of how to initiate the provision of help.

- Abstract
- Im Rahmen einer Überarbeitung und Erweiterung des Internet-Auftritts der Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart wurde die Bedienerfreundlichkeit (usability) des Online-Katalogs (OPAC) der Bücherei wissenschaftlich getestet, um daraus Kriterien für eine mögliche Verbesserung herauszuarbeiten. Anfragen von Nutzern der Bibliothek und Beobachtungen der Bibliotheksmitarbeiterinnen hatten in der Vergangenheit deutlich gemacht, dass es offensichtlich nicht allen Nutzern problemlos möglich ist, den Katalog effektiv und angemessen zu nutzen. Da es sich beim webbasierten Online-Katalog um das Kernstück der Website der Bibliothek handelt, hatte seine Optimierung größte Priorität. Das Ziel sollte sein, einen Katalog anzubieten, der von sämtlichen potentiellen Nutzern mit den unterschiedlichsten Vorkenntnissen mit möglichst geringem Aufwand und einem optimalen Suchergebnis bedient werden kann.

- Abstract
- Die Einführung von CD-ROM Datenbanken als neue Informationstechnologie hat die Formen der Informationsgewinnung in bestimmten wissenschaftlichen Fachgebieten grundlegend geändert. Der Beitrag berichtet über Ergebnisse wissenschaftlicher Begleitforschung bei Endnutzerrecherchen in der CD-ROM-Version der Datenbank MEDLINE. Hierzu wurden drei verschiedene Erhebungen durchgeführt. Hiernach ist die überwiegende Zahl der Endnutzer (89,3%) mit dem jeweiligen Rechercheresultat zufrieden, wobei Benutzer mit geringer Rechercheerfahrung eine höhere Zufriedenheitsrate erreichen als Benutzer mit umfangreicheren Recherchekenntnissen. Die Gründe zur Nutzung von CD-ROM-Systemen resultieren voriwegend aus der klinischen Alltagsroutine oder täglichen Forschungspraxis, während vermittelte Online-Literatursuchen tendenziell häufiger im Zusammenhang mit einmaligen Ereignissen der wissenschaftlichen Aus- und Weiterbildung stehen. Die selbständige CD-ROM Literaturrecherche stellt für die befragten Ärzte und Wissenschaftler die bevorzugte Methode der Informationsgewinnung dar. Die analysierten Endnutzerrecherchen weisen allerdings Fehler und Defizite hinsichtlich einer optimalen Suchstrategie auf, die zu unbemerktn Informationsverlusten und zu Fehlbeurteilungen des wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisstandes führen

- Abstract
- Presents some results from research into the uses and usefulness of electronic bibliographic databases in academic contexts, carried out as part of a British Library funded research project. Ethnographic and focus group data was gathered initially in 3 departments (natural science, social science and humanities) at the University of Kent at Canterbury covering all academic staff, researchers and postgraduates. This was then expanded to postgraduates and staff in the same 3 disciplines at other universities. 5 themes from this research are outlined: who uses the system, who does not, and where are these activities and inactivities happening; where does formal training occur; and where does learning occur. The problems of interface between computer systems and users often mirrored that between library enquiry staff and users where users did not know to frame questions and the advice given was not in a form understood by the users

- Abstract
- Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review the nature of, and rationale for, user expectations in the digital library setting, and ways in which they may best be met and/or managed. Design/methodology/approach - An analysis of the literature, focusing on empirical studies, and bringing out main themes and issues. Findings - User expectations of digital libraries are often unrealistic, usually unrealistically high, mainly due to the ubiquity of the web search engine as an information environment. Expectations differ between user groups. Both meeting and managing expectations have been promoted as a solution; it is likely that a mix of the two will be most effective. More empirical and conceptual studies are needed. Ways of making the nature of digital library collections and their organisation "visible", embedded in a natural way within their interfaces, are desirable. Originality/value - This is the first paper to review the literature of this topic.

- Abstract
- The results of a small qualitative study of gay and lesbian information users suggest that facet analysis as it is increasingly practised in the field of information architecture provides a promising avenue for improving information access to gay and lesbian information resources. Findings indicated that gay and lesbian information users have an acute sense of categorization grounded in the need to identify gay-positive physical and social spaces, and in their finely-honed practices of detecting gay "facets" to general information themes. They are also, however, very flexible and adaptable in their application of gay-related facet values, which suggests that browsing systems will have to be designed with considerable care.
