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

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the question of whether modern digital information technologies damage their users' cognitive capacities in some way, and to speculate on how librarians should adapt their services as a consequence of the controversy surrounding this question. Design/methodology/approach - The paper reviews some recent literature on this subject, combined with an examination of the role played by technology, librarians and government in determining the nature of our society's response to problematic aspects of the use of digital, internet-based applications in education. Findings - The paper finds that highly differentiated and highly polemical attitudes to this subject mean that librarians have to acknowledge the existence of important challenges to the apparent consensus about the way information technologies should be used in education in Western societies. This has important consequences for the approach to collection building (the balance between digital versus print provision), for library building design, and for the value which should be placed on systematic information literacy teaching. The existence of such an important debate should also embolden information professionals to make their own insights into these issues more widely known. Research limitations/implications - Some of the findings in this paper are amenable to further development through practitioner-oriented research; however, the bulk of the content used for this paper is derived from the literature on this topic, so there is no original research data presented to back up the assertions made by the author. It is simply an account of a debate which has to be acknowledged by librarians. Practical implications - The implications of the issues under discussion in the paper are presented in clear practical terms, and the consequences for library management made explicit. Social implications - The clash between two different theories of learning and information provision is debated and the links with issues of government policy are explored. The social connections between education and wealth generation are brought into this debate. Originality/value - The paper provides a useful, up-to-date briefing on recent controversial issues in education, information management and socio-economic policy making.

Abstract

In Zeiten zunehmend wissensintensiver Berufsbilder besteht eine große Herausforderung heutiger Unternehmen darin, die zur Unterstützung organisatorischen Handelns erforderliche Information effizient und effektiv zur Verfügung zu stellen. Eine Grundlage für die Entwicklung einer adäquaten Informationsumgebung legt dabei das umfassende Verständnis des Kontexts und Verhaltens von Mitarbeitern im Umgang mit Information. Beides unterliegt jedoch einem steten Wandel und stellt hohe Anforderungen an die Flexibilität von Arbeitsplatzkonzepten und der Gestaltung von Informationsumgebungen. In diesem Artikel wird daher die aktuelle Bedeutung und Entwicklung informationswissenschaftlicher Ansätze zur Modellierung von Informationssuchverhalten, deren Methoden, sowie zentrale Konzepte und Erkenntnisse vorgestellt. Anschließend wird die Bedeutung dieser Modelle für den Arbeitsplatz-Kontext in Zeiten zunehmend wissensintensiver Tätigkeiten untersucht. Anhand der Wandlung des primär informativ genutzten Internet zu einem partizipativen Social Web wird daraufhin erörtert, welche neuen Entwicklungen es in der Erforschung des Nutzerkontexts zu berücksichtigen gilt. Die beispielhafte Betrachtung aktueller Forschungsergebnisse auf diesem Gebiet mündet in einer Diskussion weiteren Forschungsbedarfs.

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

In a reassessment of Internet usage for reference purposes, data are tabulated from a 1995 class in advanced electronic searching and compared with a previous study from fall 1994. The current data are from 195 searches initiated by students assigned questions on a series of topics: science and technology, medicine and biology, social sciences, arts and humanities, current events, business, legal and government information. The Internet was selected as a viable source 58% of the time and determined to be successful in 86% of theses searches. Although both the selection and success rates differ with the topic being searched and the individual searchers, there is a considerable increase in both Internet selection and success rates from those of the previous year

Abstract

In this study a perceived gap between the ideal and the reality of a community network (CN) is examined. Most proponents of CNs state that building a better physical community is their major service goal. However, there has been a concern that citizens might use the service simply as a means to connect to the Internet rather than as a means to connect to their communities. Using a survey research method (n = 213), users' perceptions of community aspects of CN service and the influence of such perceptions an their use were investigated. User demographics and alternative service accessibility were also examined as predictors of use. The present study found that the respondents were using the service mainly for general Internet features. More than two thirds of the respondents were not aware of the community content aspect of the service. Approximately 20% of respondents were identified as those whose perceptions of the community aspects actually affected their use of the service. They were both aware of community contents and using an additional Internet service provider. Findings suggest that the providers did not fully communicate the community aspects of the service with the users, while the user perception of community aspects is a key to further promotion of the service.

Abstract

Reports results of a survey, conducted by the State University of New York and Albany Library, to investigate the effects of gender, college status and prior Internet experience on the use of Internet resources. The subjects were 96 randomly selected users using the library's Internet terminals during the first 2 months of 1995. The majority of users were found to share the following characteristics: male undergraduates affiliated with the social sciences; and novice users who have less than 6 months experience. Respondents felt strongly that the Internet is useful, and has been an important resource for their research and assignment. Users have high expectations of searching capabilities, while they feel neutral or disappointed with browsing. Results indicate that libraries should provide access to the Internet and suggest that libraries should take the lead in developing searchable indexes and making databases better organized for the ease and effectiveness of browsing

Abstract

Argues that librarians must take an active role in providing subject access to information on the Internet. Discusses aspects of bibliography that are relevant to online information resources, and proposes 'webliography' as an important responsibility for librarians. In taking up this task, librarians will not only be creating useful products for the user, but they will also be developing knowledge of the particular online literatures that are available, knowledge that will prove useful in providing reference and instructional services to their constituencies

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.

Abstract

Describes the aims and activities of LOIS (Library Online Information Service); previously known as the Golden Valley Information Project; to examine the feasibility of providing community information in small, isolated rural areas of the UK by means of computer terminals in 'non official' venues such as village halls and post offices. The project was funded by a number of agencies, including the Hereford and Worcester Training and Enterprise Council. David Drewitt discusses the lessons learned from the LOIS project and the types of community information currently provided by the networked service. David Morris decribes the technical aspects of the project, including the intranet used

Abstract

The electronic library and the Internet intensifies the need for information skills in academic research, in 3 categories: judgement; knowledge and operation of resources; and linguistic and logical skills. Outlines strategies for training within the doctoral supervision process. Qualitative data from the Information Access project on current practice among supervisors, suggest that successful training of researchers requires: recognition of the size of the problem; adoption of a different model of library skills training; recognition of the developmental nature of training needs; recognition of the important role research supervisors play alongside librarians; explicit discussion of metacognitive aspects of these skills; formulation of training policy by national and local institutions; training and support for supervisors themselves; and the nees for academics and students to take resposibility for their learning in this area
