    Abstract
    Nachdem wir 2005 an dieser Stelle unser Studienbegleitendes Ausbildungskonzept zur Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz vorgestellt hatten, das im Frühjahr 2004 zwischen Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek (ULB) und Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf abgestimmt worden war, scheint es uns an der Zeit, von dessen Umsetzung und Weiterentwicklung zu berichten. Da noch einige, vor allem kleinere Bibliotheken in diesem Bereich erst Konzepte entwickeln und noch Erfahrungen sammeln müssen und uns immer wieder Anfragen nach der Praktikabilität dieser oder jener Idee erreichen, gehen wir davon aus, dass unser Praxisbericht dazu beiträgt, die in der Umsetzung weniger weit fortgeschrittenen Bibliotheken von der Möglichkeit und Durchführbarkeit derartiger Projekte zu überzeugen und einige vielleicht auch vor falschen Erwartungen oder ineffizienten Lösungen zu bewahren. Zur Erinnerung: Das Konzept der ULB Düsseldorf wird in strategischer Partnerschaft von Hochschule und Bibliothek umgesetzt. Die Fachreferentinnen und Fachreferenten entlasten die Lehrenden durch Übernahme bestimmter Sitzungen zum Thema Informationskompetenz in Grundkursen und geeigneten Modulen wie solchen zur Methodenvermittlung oder zum wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten. Die Dozentinnen und Dozenten wiederum tragen wesentlich zur Qualitätssicherung der bibliothekarischen Angebote bei, indem sie die Veranstaltungen mitkonzipieren, aktualisieren und evaluieren. Außerdem tragen sie das in den Dozentenfortbildungen der Bibliothek erworbene Wissen im lnformationskompetenz- und IT-Bereich in weitere Lehrveranstaltungen und werden somit selbst zu Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren für informationstheoretische Inhalte. Innerhalb der Bibliothek wird personaleffizient arbeitsteilig vorgegangen, indem die Fachreferate die fachspezifischen Inhalte vermitteln, während schulungserfahrene Diplomkräfte die fachübergreifenden Sitzungen wie Einführung in die Bibliothek, Führungen, Katalogrecherche, Fernleihe etc. übernehmen. Auch die auf ein Semester angelegten Seminare der Bibliothek, die sowohl im Studium Universale und in den fachübergreifenden Wahlpflichtbereichen der Heinrich-Heine-Universität durchgeführt werden, finden in enger Kooperation zwischen den Fachreferaten untereinander und dem Team lnformationskompetenz statt.

    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this research is to explore UK teachers' use of research-based information, with a particular focus on issues relating to access to information in schools, information literacy, and the role of the school librarian and school library services. Design/methodology/approach - The study adopts a mixed methodology. In-depth qualitative data gathered through vignette interviews (n=28), group exercises (four groups of between three and five teachers) and a discussion forum were supplemented by quantitative data gathered through surveys of teachers (n=312), head teachers (n=78), school librarians (n=78) and school library services (n=26). Findings - Teachers' professional use of research information reflects a preference for predigested information and informal sources. Although professional bodies and government departments promote the use of research by teachers and provide a range of customised web sites for information, lack of ready local access to information and lack of time were cited as major barriers to the use of research information. Teachers also revealed uncertainties and lack of confidence in their own ability to find and evaluate such information. The findings suggest scope for more targeted provision by school librarians of both information and skills to support the professional development of teachers. However, this raises issues of priorities and resources, and needs to be seen in the context of a wider change in ethos supported by senior management. The study also raises questions about teachers' own experiences and approaches to the use of information in professional learning, and how this might impact on the provision of support for their pupils and the potential for collaborative working between librarians and teachers. Research limitations/implications - The qualitative aspects of the study provided a rich source of data from teachers with varying levels of experience and involvement with the use of research information. However, a low response to the teacher questionnaire survey (10.9 per cent, overall, 312 teachers) resulted in a bias towards more research-oriented teachers in that particular data set. While the data from research-oriented teachers do appear to triangulate, it is difficult to generalise to other teachers. Therefore teacher survey data have been treated with some caution and drawn on only to aid further understanding of the issues raised in interviews and group exercises. Originality/value - In focusing attention on teachers' information behaviour and information literacy, this paper provides a new perspective on the issues affecting the lack of uptake of research evidence within the teaching profession, contributes to the literature on information behaviour and information literacy in professional contexts, and contributes to the understanding of factors which may have a bearing on the development of student information literacy in schools.

    Abstract
    The journal subscription data of the Central Library (CL) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur during 1995-97 is analysed to assess the prevalent information drought experienced by researchers in less developed countries. The rationale of the study, some of the myths about electronic alternatives over print media, etc. are explained. A study conducted in 1995 at the CL by gathering subscription details from other IITs to explore the options of resource sharing is extracted to present the duplication rates of costly journals. Quantification of research publications from the IIT, Kaharagpur and India are also attempted using electronic databases like CCOD and INSPEC. The budgeting pattern of CL is presented from the IIT's Annual Report. Some possible suggestions to get over the information drought are also explored.

    Abstract
    Purpose - This paper aims to argue that different types of uncertainty are associated with information seeking and retrieval (IS&R), and that, with the proliferation of new and different search tools, channels and sources, uncertainty, whether positive or negative, continues to be a significant factor in the search process. The paper aims to report on one part of an ongoing research that aims to study correlations among a series of information-seeking activities and information-seeking problems that cause uncertainty amongst users in academic environment. Design/methodology/approach - An online questionnaire is used to collect data from users in the higher education sector. Quantitative analysis is carried out on the data collected through an online questionnaire distributed through eight online mailing lists comprising a total of 3,607 registered users. A total of 668 responses are returned from three categories of respondents: academic staff, research staff and research students. Pearson's correlation coefficient is used to study correlation among the activities and problems that cause uncertainty in IS&R. Findings - This research shows that uncertainty may occur in course of a number of information-seeking activities, and may also be created because of some problems associated with information seeking. Some of the activities and problems that caused uncertainty have significant correlations. There is also a correlation between information-seeking activities and gender and disciplines, though there is little correlation between information-seeking activities and age, information and communication technology (ICT) skills, and user categories. There is also a correlation between information-seeking problems and ICT skills, gender and user categories, but there is less correlation between information-seeking problems and age. Information-seeking activities and information-seeking problems that cause uncertainty have a significant correlation with disciplines and gender. Furthermore, it is noted that information-seeking activities caused less uncertainty for users in the discipline of computer and information sciences compared to the other chosen disciplines such as business and management, and arts and humanities. Originality/value - This research for the first time aimed to study which information-seeking activities and problems cause uncertainty and how they are correlated.

    Abstract
    Purpose - This study seeks to apply ecological psychology's concept of "affordance" to graduate students' information behavior in the academic library, and to explore the extent to which the affordances experienced by graduate students differed from the affordances librarians were attempting to provide. Design/methodology/approach - In-depth, qualitative interviews with graduate students and academic librarians explored how the students perceived and used the library's various "opportunities for action" (e.g. books, databases, instructional sessions, librarians, physical space, etc.) and compared these perceptions and behavior with librarians' intentions and expectations. Findings - Findings indicate a disparity between expectations and experience and point to graduate students as an underserved population in this context, especially in terms of the library's outreach efforts. In addition, because graduate students are increasingly teaching introductory undergraduate courses, communication methods that bypass graduate students tend to miss undergraduate students as well. Practical implications - Practical implications discussed in this paper include possible methods of improving communication channels between graduate students and academic librarians, and considerations for information literacy instruction. Originality/value - This paper presents a unique perspective by using affordance theory to frame students and librarians' expectations about library services. The findings are particularly valuable for their implications for library-patron communication and information literacy.

    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this article is to alert researchers to software for web tracking of information seeking behaviour, and to offer a list of criteria that will make it easier to select software. A selection of research projects based on web tracking as well as the benefits and disadvantages of web tracking are also explored. Design/methodology/approach - An overview of the literature, including clarification of key concepts, a brief overview of studies of web information seeking behaviour based on web tracking, identification of software used, as well as the strengths and short-comings noted for web tracking is used as a background to the identification of criteria for the selection of web tracking software. Findings - Web tracking can offer very valuable information for the development of websites, portals, digital libraries, etc. It, however, needs to be supplemented by qualitative studies, and researchers need to ensure that the tracking software will collect the data required. Research limitations/implications - The criteria is not applied to any software in particular. Practical implications - The criteria can be used by researchers working on web usage and web information seeking behaviour to select suitable tracking software. Originality/value - Although there are many reports on the use of web tracking (also reported in this article), nothing could be traced on criteria for the evaluation of web tracking software.

    Abstract
    This paper reports the results of the second stage of the Citizenship Information research project funded by the BLR&IC: a nation-wide survey, by personal doorstep interview, of the citizenship information needs of almost 900 members of the UK public. Major findings include: that the public obtain most of their information on current issues via the mass media, and that they generally feel well informed on these issues. The public feel, however, that government is not doing enough to inform them on European Monetary Union and on local government cutbacks. Small proportions of the sample had encountered problems concerning employment, education, housing or welfare benefits, and had consulted a range of information sources in order to overcome these problems. Over a quarter of respondents had experienced disadvantage through a lack of access to information. The majority of respondents felt well informed about areas relating to citizenship, but significant proportions were poorly informed in legal rights, welfare benefits and local politics. A highly significant majority (91.7 per cent) believed that freedom of information was important for exercising their rights as citizens. Respondents tended to overestimate their voting patterns, but there was little evidence of participation in other forms of political activity. Although access to computers in the home is presently limited, the majority of respondents would use computers to vote, convey opinions to government and obtain government information. Public libraries were the preferred source of government information, and were seen as appropriate locations for a range of other types of citizenship information.

    Abstract
    This paper reports the results of the second stage of the Citizenship Information research project funded by the BLR&IC: a national survey, by personal doorstep interview, of the citizenship information needs of 898 members of the UK public. Major findings include: that the public obtain most of their information on current issues via the media, and that they generally feel well informed on these issues. The public believe, however, that government is not doing enough to inform them about the Single European Currency and local council cutbacks. Small proportions of the sample had encountered problems in relation to employment, education, housing or welfare benefits and had consulted a range of information sources in order to solve these problems. Over a quarter of respondents had experienced disadvantage through a lack of access to information. Significant proportions of respondents were poorly informed about legal rights, welfare benefits and local politics. A highly significant majority (91.7%) believed that freedom of information was important for exercising their rights as citizens. Although access to computers in the home is presently limited, the majority of respondents indicated a willingness to use computers to vote and interact with government. Public libraries were the preferred source of government information and were seen as appropriate locations for a range of other types of citizenship information.

    Abstract
    This paper is a personal view of the development of the role(s) of information professionals in the 50 years since IIS was founded. One of the justifications for the formation of IIS was that the then current professional bodies were not relevant to the needs of those employed in industrial information services. This paper reviews briefly the situation when IIS was formed, from the viewpoint of professional requirements and the developments since. The conclusion is drawn that today's information world, very different from that of 50 years ago, faces similar problems of a lack of suitable qualifications and a confusion in the roles of different actors in the field.

    Abstract
    Mit Beginn des Sommersemesters 2006 startet das auf zwei Semester konzipierte frei kombinierbare Nebenfach "Informationskompetenz" in den Bachelor- und modularisierten Magisterstudiengängen der Philosophischen Fakultäten I-IV an der Universität Regensburg. Auf Initiative der Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg wurde mit einer Vorlaufzeit von knapp einem halben Jahr diese Schlüsselqualifikation in die universitären Curricula integriert. Der Bologna-Prozess ist in den philologischen Fächern an der Universität Regensburg am weitesten fortgeschritten. An der Gesamtkonzeption der Studieneinheit konnte die Universitätsbibliothek maßgeblich mitwirken und vor allem die bibliothekarischen Angebote eigenverantwortlich gestalten. Das frei kombinierbare Nebenfach ist am Institut für Medien-, Informations- und Kulturwissenschaft (IMIK) angesiedelt und wird von der erst vor kurzem eingerichteten Professur für Medieninformatik betreut. Da Regensburg zu den wenigen deutschen Hochschulen zählt, die einen Studiengang Informationswissenschaft anbieten, war die Studieneinheit für eine Verankerung am IMIK prädestiniert. Weitere Fächer wie die Germanistik (Didaktik des Deutschen, Neuere Deutsche Literaturwissenschaft) bieten ebenfalls Lehrveranstaltungen an, die für ein Ausbildungsprogramm in Informationskompetenz genutzt werden können. Zudem werden in Regensburg bereits seit einiger Zeit verwandte Schlüsselqualifikationen wie Medienkompetenz oder mündliche Kommunikation und Sprecherziehung im Rahmen unterschiedlicher Studiengänge bzw. -module angeboten. Eine Bündelung der vorhandenen Fachkompetenzen von Bibliothek und Universität war daher naheliegend. Ausgangspunkt für den Vorstoß waren die Erfahrungen im Bereich Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz in den Philologien und der sich daraus abzeichnende Bedarf an einer Erweiterung und Institutionalisierung des entsprechenden Angebots seitens der Bibliothek. Die Regensburger Zentralbibliothek bietet selbstverständlich das an vielen Häusern übliche Dienstleistungsspektrum zur Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz wie Einführungen in den OPAC und Führungen durch die Zentralbibliothek (verstärkt jeweils zu Semesterbeginn; darüber hinaus auf Wunsch für Schulklassen, ausländische Studierende, Stadtbenutzer etc.) an. Im Bereich der philologischen Teilbibliotheken wurde seit Wintersemester 2003/2004 von den Fachreferenten ein kunden- und bedarfsorientiertes Angebot entwickelt, da sich ein erheblicher Bedarf an fachspezifischen Dienstleistungen für die Philologien ergeben hatte.

    Abstract
    Successive information searches are fairly common. To enhance the understanding of the behavior, this study attempted to improve both the descriptive and explanatory power of the Multiple Information Seeking Episodes (MISE) model, a conceptual model characterizing factors affecting successive searches. It empirically observed how the key factors in the information seeking process in the MISE model evolve over multiple search sessions and explained how those factors are affected by other factors associated with searchers, search activity, search context, systems, information attainment, and information-use activities. The validated and enriched MISE model can be extended to serve the basis for future studies in other complex searches process such as multi-tasking and collaborative searches, and can also help identify problems that users face and thus derive requirements for system support.

    Abstract
    The present analysis looks at how scientists use the Internet for informal scientific communication. It investigates the relationship between several explanatory variables and Internet use in a cross-section of scientists from seven European countries and five academic disciplines (astronomy, chemistry, computer science, economics, and psychology). The analysis confirmed some of the results of previous U.S.-based analyses. In particular, it corroborated a positive relationship between research productivity and Internet use. The relationship was found to be nonlinear, with very productive (nonproductive) scientists using the Internet less (more) than would be expected according to their productivity. Also, being involved in collaborative R&D and having large networks of collaborators is associated with increased Internet use. In contrast to older studies, the analysis did not find any equalizing effect whereby higher Internet use rates help to overcome the problems of potentially disadvantaged researchers. Obviously, everybody who wants to stay at the forefront of research and keep upto-date with developments in their research fields has to use the Internet.

    Abstract
    Key terms related to information searching and search models are defined. A historic context is provided to illustrate the evolution of the four main digital environments that users interact with in their search process to offer readers background information regarding the transition from manual information systems to computer-based information retrieval (IR) systems, as well as the transition from intermediary searching to end-user searching. Emphasis is placed on the review of different levels of information searching from search tactics/moves, search strategies, and usage patterns, to search models and associated factors in relation to task, user knowledge structure, IR system design, and social-organization context. Search models are further classified into two types, with one type illustrating information search process (ISP) and the other type emphasizing the factors that influence the process. In addition, unsolved problems and future research are discussed and suggested.
