Abstract

The user-centered approach to information retrieval emphasizes the importance of a user model in determining what information will be most useful to a particular user, given their context. Mediated search provides an opportunity to elaborate on this idea, as an intermediary's elicitations reveal what aspects of the user model they think are worth inquiring about. However, empirical evidence is divided over whether intermediaries actually work to develop a broadly conceived user model. Our research revisits the issue in a web research services setting, whose characteristics are expected to result in more thorough user modeling on the part of intermediaries. Our empirical study confirms that intermediaries engage in rich user modeling. While intermediaries behave differently across settings, our interpretation is that the underlying user model characteristics that intermediaries inquire about in our setting are applicable to other settings as well.

Abstract

Multisession successive information searches are common but little research has focused on quantitative analysis. This article enhances our understanding of successive information searches by employing an experimental method to observe whether and how the behavioral characteristics of searchers statistically significantly changed over sessions. It focuses on a specific type of successive search called transmuting successive searches, in which searchers learn about and gradually refine their information problems during the course of the information search. The results show that searchers' behavioral characteristics indeed exhibit different patterns in different sessions. The identification of the behavioral characteristics can help information retrieval systems to detect stages or sessions of the information search process. The findings also help validate a theoretical framework to explain successive searches and suggest system requirements for supporting the associated search behavior. The study is one of the first to not only test for statistical significance among research propositions concerning successive searches but to also apply the research principles of implicit relevance feedback to successive searches.

Abstract

In den letzten Jahren wurde die Vermittlung von lnformationskompetenz (und manchmal darüber hinausgehend die Medienkompetenz) als ein neuer zentraler Baustein des Berufsbildes der Bibliothekarin/des Bibliothekars entwickelt. Ausgehend von den Führungen durch die Bibliothek und Schulungen in der Handhabung des Katalogs gehören mittlerweile neben der Katalogrecherche zur Informationskompetenzvermittlung auch die Datenbankrecherche und die Recherche in Suchdiensten nach frei im Netz verfügbaren Informationen. Aber nicht nur die Suchdienste, auch die recherchierbaren Inhalte haben sich erweitert. Ebenso hat man didaktisch konzeptionell viele Überlegungen angestellt und diese pädagogisch auf der Höhe der Zeit in einem stimmigen Konzept zusammengefasst, der Teaching Library. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Grundsätze wie - Verschlankung des zu vermittelnden Inhalts - zusätzliche Visualisierung der Information ist besser als alleinige Übermittlung durch Sprache - selbst Ausprobieren bringt den Teilnehmern/Teilnehmerinnen mehr Lernerfolge als Inhalte und Lösungen lediglich vorgeführt zu bekommen Darüber hinaus bemühen sich viele Bibliotheken, die Inhalte von Schulungen zusätzlich in Tutorials und Selbstlernkursen auf der Homepage der Bibliothek anzubieten und auch sonst Anleitungstexte dort zu platzieren, wo Benutzer Defizite in der Handhabung von Suchdiensten und des Wissens über Fachrecherche haben könnten, beispielsweise direkt beim Online-Katalog (OPAC). Das macht Sinn, erreicht man doch durch Präsenzveranstaltungen aus verschiedenen Gründen nur einen Bruchteil der Benutzer und vermittelt nur teilweise die notwendigen Schlüsselqualifikationen zur Recherche, die für ein solides und effektives wissenschaftliches Arbeiten vonnöten wären. Online-Kurse und -Informationen zur Recherche sind hochverfügbar, die Benutzer können sie durcharbeiten oder abrufen, wann immer sie das Bedürfnis verspüren, Wissenslücken über die Recherche auszugleichen. Aber stimmt dieses positive Bild mit der Realität überein? Erreichen die Online-Tutorials ihre Zielgruppen? Werden die richtigen Methoden zur Umsetzung der Inhalte gewählt, so dass dieses eLearning effektiver ist als eine Vermittlung in der Face-to-face-Situation einer Schulung? Welche Anforderungen, welche Möglichkeiten, welche Hemmnisse gibt es hier? Diese Checkliste soll zumindest das Feld der Möglichkeiten und Widrigkeiten umreißen und Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten aufzeigen, wie man - angemessen an die jeweiligen Zielgruppen - Informationskompetenz als Schlüsselqualifikation online vermitteln kann.

Abstract

Large amounts of health-related information of different types are available on the web. In addition to authoritative health information sites maintained by government health departments and healthcare institutions, there are many social media sites carrying user-contributed information. This study sought to identify the types of drug information available on consumer-contributed drug review sites when compared with authoritative drug information websites. Content analysis was performed on the information available for nine drugs on three authoritative sites (RxList, eMC, and PDRhealth) as well as three drug review sites (WebMD, RateADrug, and PatientsLikeMe). The types of information found on authoritative sites but rarely on drug review sites include pharmacology, special population considerations, contraindications, and drug interactions. Types of information found only on drug review sites include drug efficacy, drug resistance experienced by long-term users, cost of drug in relation to insurance coverage, availability of generic forms, comparison with other similar drugs and with other versions of the drug, difficulty in using the drug, and advice on coping with side effects. Drug efficacy ratings by users were found to be different across the three sites. Side effects were vividly described in context, with user assessment of severity based on discomfort and effect on their lives.

Abstract

Dass das Berufsbild des Bibliothekars in den vergangenen Jahren keinen Paradigmenwechsel erlebte sondern sich um eine neue Kernaufgabe, die Vermittlung von Informations- und Medienkompetenz, erweiterte; zeigt das Beispiel der Universitätsbibliothek der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg. Dem Vermittlungsbedarf wissenschaftlicher Information wurde hier schon seit Jahren durch einen gut organisierten Auskunftsdienst, Informationsmaterialien und zusätzliche Informationsbereiche auf der Website der Bibliothek Rechnung getragen. Auch konnte die Bibliothek im Laufe der Zeit eine Reihe an regelmäßigen Katalog- und Datenbankschulungen anbieten, die allen Bibliotheksbenutzern - vor allem Studierenden und Mitarbeitern der Universität - offen stehen und dieses Angebot durch weitere interessante Veranstaltungen rund um Bibliotheksbenutzung, Recherche und wissenschaftliches Arbeiten ergänzen. Die Teilnahme erfolgt bis zum heutigen Tage auf freiwilliger Basis und ein großer Zulauf blieb zunächst aus, bis im Wintersemester 2007/2008 das Schulungsangebot der Bibliothek durch die feste Integration dreier Lehrveranstaltungen, Basiswissen Informationskompetenz I-III, in das jeweils startende erste Semester, das Leuphana Semester, erweitert wurde. Alle drei Veranstaltungen unterliegen der Teilnahmepflicht, wodurch sichergestellt werden soll, dass jede neue Studentin bzw. jeder neue Student nicht nur mit der eigenen Bibliothek vertraut gemacht sondern in die Lage versetzt wird, die ständig steigende Informationsflut zu beherrschen und relevante Informationen zu finden, zu beurteilen und zu verarbeiten. Ziel der drei Veranstaltungen ist dennoch nicht, Informationsspezialisten auszubilden, sondern einen Einstieg in Bibliotheksbenutzung, Recherche und Medienkompetenz zu bieten, Präsenz zu zeigen und das vielfältige Serviceangebot zu präsentieren. Das komprimierte, vermittelte Wissen kann anschließend im Rahmen regelmäßiger Schulungsangebote der Universitätsbibliothek vertieft werden.
Die Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz stellte sich an der Universitätsbibliothek durch die ständig wachsenden Anforderungen als eine klare Teamarbeit heraus. Viele Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der Bibliothek ergriffen die Chance, sich und ihre Arbeit neu zu entdecken, schlüpften in die Rolle des Dozenten, sahen sich dabei jedoch auch mit ganz neuen Herausforderungen und Problemen konfrontiert. Lux und Sühl-Strohmenger sprechen hier von der Erforderlichkeit einer pädagogisch-didaktischen Qualifizierung der mit Schulungsaufgaben betrauten Bibliotheksmitarbeiterinnen und -mitarbeiter. In den vergangenen Jahren fand diese Qualifizierung für das Personal der Universitätsbibliothek Lüneburg statt durch Inhouse-Seminare und Workshops zur didaktischen Ausgestaltung von Schulungsveranstaltungen, zu Präsentations-, Stimm- und Redetechniken und nicht zuletzt zum Lernverhalten der Teilnehmer.

Abstract

Focusing on information behavior in a context where medical evidence is explicitly evolving (management of the menopause transition), this investigation explored how women interact with and make sense of uncertain health information mediated by formal and informal sources. Based on interviews with 28 information seekers and 12 health professionals (HPs), findings demonstrate that participants accessed and valued a wide range of information sources, moved fluidly between formal and informal sources, and trust was strengthened through interaction and referral between sources. Participants were motivated to seek information to prepare for formal encounters with HPs, evaluate and/or supplement information already gathered, establish that they were "normal," understand and address the physical embodiment of their experiences, and prepare for future information needs. Findings revealed four strategies used to construct sense from health information mediated by the many information sources encountered and accessed on an everyday basis: women assumed analytic and experiential "postures"; they valued social contexts for learning and knowledge construction; information consistency was used as a heuristic representing accuracy and credibility; and an important feature of sense making was source complementarity. Implications for health information literacy and patient education are discussed.

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

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present a snapshot of virtual reference services (the use of instant messaging or chat for enquiries) in UK academic libraries, and provide information about software for libraries considering providing a virtual reference service. Design/methodology/approach - The paper summarises the results of a 2008 UK-wide survey of academic libraries and gives a brief overview and comparison matrix of top virtual reference software products as tested by the Virtual Enquiry Project. Findings - Virtual reference services are not widespread in UK academic libraries. However, current service providers are planning to continue or expand services and a majority of academic libraries surveyed are considering starting a service. Originality/value - This is the first survey of its kind among UK academic libraries.

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to elaborate how source preference criteria are defined in the context of everyday projects that require the seeking of problem-specific information. More specifically, to find out how information seekers explain their preference criteria by characterizing the perceived strengths and weaknesses of diverse sources. Design/methodology/approach - The approach takes the form of qualitative content analysis of empirical data gathered by semi-structured interviews with 16 prospective home buyers in 2008. The source preference criteria were elicited by making use of the construct of information source horizon. Findings - Networked sources were favoured most strongly, followed by printed media, human sources and organizational sources. Content of information was the primary source preference criterion. Availability of information was a fairly important criterion, while user characteristics, usability of information and situational factors were fairly marginal in this regard. In the definition of the preference criteria, more emphasis was placed on the perceived strengths than weaknesses of sources. Positive qualities such as "provides updated information" were referred to particularly while judging the relevance of the networked sources. Negative qualities like "outdated information" were primarily associated with printed media and organizational sources. Research limitations/implications - The study is exploratory, drawing on a relatively small sample recruited through a web-based service. Thus, the findings cannot be generalized to prospective home buyers. Practical implications - Prospective home buyers tend to favour web-based information sources and services. They should provide the customers with detailed information about the property, including photos. Originality/value - The paper specifies the picture of user-defined relevance judgment in the context of everyday life information seeking.

Abstract

Die Studieneinheit "Informationskompetenz" "sollte verpflichtender Kurs für Studenten aller Fachrichtungen sein" - so lautete eine der Rückmeldungen zu den beiden von der Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg betreuten Kursen im Rahmen der Evaluation von INK des Sommersemesters 2010. Ähnliche Rückmeldungen gehen fast jedes Sommersemester ein, so im Jahr 2006: "Mein Vorschlag ist, diesen Kurs in abgespeckter Form zu Beginn eines jeden Semesters für alle Studenten anzubieten, da hier sehr viel über die Benutzung der Bibliothek und richtiges Suchen gelernt werden kann, was eigentlich für alle Studenten sehr wichtig ist." Oder aus den Jahren 2008 ("Ich fände es gut, wenn der Kurs als Pflichtkurs für jeden Studenten eingerichtet werden würde bzw. Teilbereiche wie DBIS, EZB etc. als Pflichtveranstaltung in möglichst allen Fachbereichen existent wären.") und 2010 ("Sollte verpflichtender Kurs für Studenten aller Fachrichtungen sein!"). Diese Einschätzungen sowie die im fünften Jahr der Studieneinheit um fast 20% gestiegene Teilnehmerzahl seien daher Anlass zu einem kleinen Rückblick.

Abstract

Ausgehend von der Überzeugung, dass der Zugriff auf digitale Information künftig primär,wenn nicht sogar ausschließlich über mobile Endgeräte wie Smartphones und Tablets erfolgen wird, stellt die Bayerische Staatsbibliothek gegenwärtig ihre Basisdienste ebenso wie ihre digitalen Content-Angebote sukzessive als mobile Applikationen bereit. Zuerst wurden der Online-Katalog und die Website der Bibliothek als generische, auf allen gängigen Smartphone-Browsern lauffähige, mobile Applikationen programmiert. In einem weiteren Schritt hat die Bayerische Staatsbibliothek 5o digitalisierte Spitzenstücke ihres Bestandes als native App »Famous Books -Treasures of the Bavarian State Library« für iPad und iPhone bereitgestellt, darauf folgte im Frühling 2011 die App »Islamic Books - Oriental treasures of the Bavarian State Library«. Aktuell experimentiert die Bayerische Staatsbibliothek zudem mit Augmented-Reality-Anwendungen. In einer mobilen Applikation »Ludwig II.« soll digitalisierter Bibliothekscontent zum berühmten bayerischen »Märchenkönig« georeferenziert an herausragenden Wirkungsstätten des Königs wie Schloss Neuschwanstein als Augmented-Reality-Applikation angeboten werden. Der Artikel stellt die verschiedenen mobilen Services und Anwendungen der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek vor, beleuchtet ihre technische Realisierung und bewertet die Chancen und Grenzen bibliothekarischer Dienste im mobilen Internet.

Abstract

As new technologies and information delivery systems emerge, the way in which individuals search for information to support research, teaching, and creative activities is changing. To understand different aspects of researchers' information-seeking behavior, this article surveyed 2,063 academic researchers in natural science, engineering, and medical science from five research universities in the United States. A Web-based, in-depth questionnaire was designed to quantify researchers' information searching, information use, and information storage behaviors. Descriptive statistics are reported. Additionally, analysis of results is broken out by institutions to compare differences among universities. Significant findings are reported, with the biggest changes because of increased utilization of electronic methods for searching, sharing, and storing scholarly content, as well as for utilizing library services. Generally speaking, researchers in the five universities had similar information-seeking behavior, with small differences because of varying academic unit structures and myriad library services provided at the individual institutions.

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of information literacy (IL) and digital literacy under the circumstances and challenges of the Web 2.0 environment. Design/methodology/approach - Desk research was done in order acquire a picture about the nature of the Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 in regard to their influence on literacy requirements. The hypothesis that differential literacies have to be offered to diverging groups of users, similarly to traditional library services that cater for different user needs depending on the type of the given library was tested. Findings - Professional goals characterize first of all different groups of professionals, teaching staff and researchers, as well as students. Thus, their need in information is different from that of other categories of users. Consequently, they require literacies similar to services traditionally offered by academic and special libraries. Amateur content is more compatible with the mission of public libraries and it is more suitable for Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 applications. Research limitations/implications - New principles of IL are outlined in this paper which will help practitioners in designing goal-oriented IL education. Practical implications - The practical implications need to be studied in the course of further research. Originality/value - The findings represent a small but valuable asset to the discussion about new approaches towards IL education.

Abstract

We report a naturalistic interactive information retrieval (IIR) study of 18 ordinary users in the age of 20-25 who carry out everyday-life information seeking (ELIS) on the Internet with respect to the three types of information needs identified by Ingwersen (1986): the verificative information need (VIN), the conscious topical information need (CIN), and the muddled topical information need (MIN). The searches took place in the private homes of the users in order to ensure as realistic searching as possible. Ingwersen (1996) associates a given search behaviour to each of the three types of information needs, which are analytically deduced, but not yet empirically tested. Thus the objective of the study is to investigate whether empirical data does, or does not, conform to the predictions derived from the three types of information needs. The main conclusion is that the analytically deduced information search behaviour characteristics by Ingwersen are positively corroborated for this group of test participants who search the Internet as part of ELIS.

Abstract

The advent and development of the Internet has changed students' pattern of information seeking behaviors. That is also the case in Iran. The current research was carried out by interviewing with and observing of 20 intermediate girl students to assess their information seeking behavior on the web environment through a qualitative approach. Findings indicate an acceptable level of access to the Internet and vast use of web search engines by the girl students in Tehran. However, students' knowledge of the concept and how search engines work and also about the methods and tools of retrieving information from electronic sources other than the search engines is poor. The study also shows that, compared to the Internet, the role of libraries and librarians are gradually diminishing in fulfilling the students' information needs. Authors recommend that school librarians can provide different instructional and information literacy programs to help students improve their information seeking behavior and their knowledge of the Internet.

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

The notions that information seeking is not always a solitary activity and that people working in collaboration for information intensive tasks should be studied and supported have become more prevalent in recent years. Several new research questions, methodologies, and systems have emerged around these notions that may prove to be useful beyond the field of collaborative information seeking (CIS), with relevance to the broader area of information seeking and behavior. This article provides an overview of such key research work from a variety of domains, including library and information science, computer-supported cooperative work, human-computer interaction, and information retrieval. It starts with explanations of collaboration and how CIS fits in different contexts, emphasizing the interactive, intentional, and mutually beneficial nature of CIS activities. Relations to similar and related fields such as collaborative information retrieval, collaborative information behavior, and collaborative filtering are also clarified. Next, the article presents a synthesis of various frameworks and models that exist in the field today, along with a new synthesis of 12 different dimensions of group activities. A discussion on issues and approaches relating to evaluating various parameters in CIS follows. Finally, a list of known issues and challenges is presented to provide an overview of research opportunities in this field.

Abstract

There is increasing interest in topics at the nexus of collaboration and information behavior. A variety of studies conducted in organizational settings have provided us with key insights about the collaborative aspects of seeking, retrieving, and using information. Researchers have used a range of terms, including collaborative information seeking (CIS), collaborative information retrieval (CIR), collaborative search, collaborative sensemaking, and others to describe various pertinent activities. Consequently, we lack conceptual clarity concerning these activities, leading to a tendency to use terms interchangeably when in fact they may be referring to different issues. Here, we offer collaborative information behavior (CIB) as an umbrella term to connote the collaborative aspects of information seeking, retrieval, and use. We provide the contours of a model of CIB synthesized from findings of past studies conducted by our research team as well as other researchers. By reanalyzing and synthesizing the data from those studies, we conceptualize CIB as comprised of a set of constitutive activities, organized into three broad phases-problem formulation, collaborative information seeking, and information use. Some of the activities are specific to a particular phase, whereas others are common to all phases. We explain how those constitutive activities are related to one another. Finally, we discuss the limitations of our model as well as its potential usefulness in advancing CIB research.

Abstract

Während Informationspraxis in Forschung und Bibliothek früher vom Umgang mit Literatur dominiert war, kommen heute viele neue Werkzeuge zum Einsatz. Office-Produkte, Datenbanken und Online-Plattformen verändern den Alltag in Forschung und Bibliothek und definieren zum Teil völlig neue Felder wissenschaftlicher Informationspraxis, z. B. im Kontext der Bibliometrie, virtueller Forschungsumgebungen oder Forschungsdaten. Der vorliegende Beitrag vergleicht die aktuelle Informationspraxis in der Forschung mit den Schulungsangeboten von Bibliotheken und weist nach, dass sich Forschung und Bibliothek zum Teil voneinander entkoppelt haben und ein zusammenhängendes Angebot zur Vermittlung wissenschaftlicher Informationspraxis am Campus in Gefahr ist. Um ein solches Angebot aufzubauen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass Bibliotheken sich mit Rechenzentren und Fakultäten zusammentun und die Bibliothek als Lernraum und zentralen Ort des wissenschaftlichen Informationsmanagements weiter etablieren. Dabei sollten neue Wege zum Aufbau von Expertise in der Informationspraxis von Bibliotheken beschritten werden, etwa die direkte Beteiligung an wissenschaftlichen Projekten, die Unterstützung von Eigeninitiative des Personals oder gezielte Rekrutierungsstrategien sowie der koordinierte Austausch zwischen Bibliotheken durch Experten und Materialien zu Spezialthemen.

Abstract

Purpose - The current study aims to review the different publications dealing with information literacy and the emerging trends reflected over the ten years, 1999-2009, in the Web of Science (WOS) database. Design/methodology/approach - The study presents both a statistical descriptive analysis of document type, subject areas, authors, source titles, publication years, languages, countries and keywords of publications extracted from the WOS database, as well as a thorough content analysis of keywords and abstracts extracted from the WOS database. Findings - The main results suggest that the term information literacy has various characteristics in an additional and interesting context: health and medicine. This finding may reflect a tendency of association between information literacy and health and medicine and stresses people's need for information literacy in this specific context. Originality/value - The current study emphasises the notion that information literacy is no longer an issue for librarians or educators only.
