Abstract

Das Web 2.0 hat einen Paradigmenwechsel im Umgang mit Informationen und damit eng verbunden im Wissenserwerb eingeleitet. Theoretisch gesehen hat jeder offenen Zugang zu vielfältigen Informationen und kann gleichzeitig selbst Inhalte beisteuern - z.B. in Sozialen Netzwerken, in Weblogs oder Wikis - und Websites oder andere Dokumente (Videos, Slideshows o.ä.) veröffentlichen und mit anderen Nutzern teilen. Dieser Demokratisierungsprozess von Wissensproduktion, -kommunikation und -erwerb ist allerdings nicht frei von Kontroversen. Das verstärkte Nebeneinander von sachlich richtiger und relevanter Information einerseits und Belanglosigkeiten andererseits ruft auch Gegner auf den Plan. Sie sprechen von einem Information Overkill und befürchten den Niedergang der klassischen Bildung. Führen freie Wissenszugänge im Netz tatsächlich zu weniger Bildung? Was macht eine Website zu einer zuverlässigen und vertrauenswürdigen Quelle? Wie können aus der Fülle von Webressourcen die qualitativ hochwertigen herausgefiltert werden? Welchen Beitrag kann dabei Social Software leisten? Welches sind die Konstituenten einer Informationskompetenz 2.0, über die User verfügen sollten, um mit vorgefundenen Ressourcen adäquat umgehen zu können? Und inwiefern sind Bibliotheken - die sich ja zunehmend als Teaching Libraries verstehen - hier gefordert? Auf diese Fragen versucht das vorliegende Buch Antworten zu geben. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Umgang mit Wissensressourcen im Web 2.0, wobei ebenso theoretische wie praktische Implikationen berücksichtigt und ausgewählte Evaluierungsansätze hinsichtlich ihrer praktischen Anwendbarkeit für die User diskutiert werden.

"Mit dem neuen iPhone greift Apple seinen schärfsten Konkurrenten Google direkt an: Es ist das erste iPhone, das fast ohne Google-Produkte auskommt - nur die Google-Suche bleibt noch übrig. Der herbste Schlag für den Internetkonzern: die Entfernung von Google Maps. Seit 2007 das erste iPhone auf den Markt kam, war dieser Dienst vorinstalliert. Stattdessen bietet Apple nun mit "Karten" einen eigenen Kartendienst an. Für Google wird das wohl bedeuten, dass die mobilen Zugriffe auf seinen Kartendienst einbrechen- ein Feld, das entscheidend für Googles Umsatz im immer wichtiger werdenden Geschäft mit mobilen Anzeigen sein soll. Mehr als die Hälfte der mobilen Zugriffe auf Google Maps soll von iPhone- und iPad-Nutzern kommen. Ihnen wird Apple nun eigene Anzeigen einblenden können. Doch für Apple ist das nur ein Nebeneffekt. Tatsächlich geht es bei der Entwicklung des eigenen Kartendienstes darum, die Zukunft des iPhones zu sichern, Apples wichtigster Einkommensquelle. Denn digitale Kartentechnologie ist die entscheidende Schnittstelle zwischen virtuellem Raum und realer Welt. "Ortsbasierte Dienstleistungen", sagt Analystin Annette Zimmermann vom führenden IT-Marktforschungsinstitut Gartner, "sind zu wichtig als dass Apple sich dabei auf die Karten des unmittelbaren Konkurrenten Google als Basis verlassen könnte." Nur indem unzählige lokale Daten verknüpft und auf den Standort und die Anfragen des Nutzers bezogen werden, kann ein Smartphone zu dem allumfassenden Alltagsassistenten werden wie es Apple beim iPhone mit seiner Software Siri vorschwebt: etwa warnen, dass der Nutzer früher zu einem Meeting aufbrechen muss, da sich ein Stau gebildet hat oder ein Bus ausfällt. Siri-Konkurrent Google Now kann auf Android-Smartphones solche Aufgaben bereits erledigen. Die bessere digitale Abbildung und das vollkommenere Verständnis der physischen Begebenheiten wird so zu einem Schlüsselkriterium dafür, welche Smartphones den Markt künftig dominieren werden.

Ernsthaft bedroht fühlen sich die Wikileaks-Köpfe durch das Dokument übrigens nicht. Verfasst wurde es schließlich schon vor zwei Jahren. So steht es jedenfalls auf Seite 1. Sollte seitdem jemand versucht haben, die Anregungen daraus umzusetzen, war das nicht erfolgreich. "Scheint, als ob der Plan, unsere Quellen offenzulegen, ineffektiv war", teilt Assange süffisant mit. In einer E-Mail an die Frankfurter Rundschau kündigt er aber auch schon weitere Veröffentlichungen an: "Das US-Militär kann nicht als legitimer Vertreter der Regierung gelten, wenn es Angriffe auf die Presse und seine eigenen Soldaten vorschlägt, die von Menschenrechtsverletzungen berichten. Wir untersuchen dieses Thema und werden bald mehr über Attacken des US-Militärs zu enthüllen haben." Auch das darf man als Werbung in eigener Sache betrachten. Der Australier ist der einzige aus dem innersten redaktionellen Kreis von Wikileaks, der unter seinem "Klarnamen" lebt und auftritt. Das nächste Mal am 15. April in Berlin. Bei der re:publica, der größten deutschen "Konferenz über Blogs, soziale Medien und die digitale Gesellschaft" wird er das Projekt noch einmal vorstellen - und sich dafür feiern lassen, dass er selbst US-Geheimdienste nervös macht."

Abstract

Despite the development of huge healthcare Web sites and powerful search engines, many searchers end their searches prematurely with incomplete information. Recent studies suggest that users often retrieve incomplete information because of the complex scatter of relevant facts about a topic across Web pages. However, little is understood about regularities underlying such information scatter. To probe regularities within the scatter of facts across Web pages, this article presents the results of two analyses: (a) a cluster analysis of Web pages that reveals the existence of three page clusters that vary in information density and (b) a content analysis that suggests the role each of the above-mentioned page clusters play in providing comprehensive information. These results provide implications for the design of Web sites, search tools, and training to help users find comprehensive information about a topic and for a hypothesis describing the underlying mechanisms causing the scatter. We conclude by briefly discussing how the analysis of information scatter, at the granularity of facts, complements existing theories of information-seeking behavior.

Abstract

Patient portals have the potential to provide content that is specifically tailored to a patient's information needs based on diagnoses and other factors. In this work, we conducted a survey of 41 lung cancer patients at an outpatient lung cancer clinic at the medical center of the University of California, Los Angeles, to gain insight into these perceived information needs and opinions on the design of a portal to fulfill them. We found that patients requested access to information related to diagnosis and imaging, with more than half of the patients reporting that they did not anticipate an increase in anxiety due to access to medical record information via a portal. We also found that patient educational background did not lead to a significant difference in desires for explanations of reports and definitions of terms.

Abstract

Many information portals are adding social features with hopes of enhancing the overall user experience. Invitations to join and welcome pages that highlight these social features are expected to encourage use and participation. While this approach is widespread and seems plausible, the effect of providing and highlighting social features remains to be tested. We studied the effects of emphasizing social features on users' response to invitations, their decisions to join, their willingness to provide profile information, and their engagement with the portal's social features. The results of a quasi-experiment found no significant effect of social emphasis in invitations on receivers' responsiveness. However, users receiving invitations highlighting social benefits were less likely to join the portal and provide profile information. Social emphasis in the initial welcome page for the site also was found to have a significant effect on whether individuals joined the portal, how much profile information they provided and shared, and how much they engaged with social features on the site. Unexpectedly, users who were welcomed in a social manner were less likely to join and provided less profile information; they also were less likely to engage with social features of the portal. This suggests that even in online contexts where social activity is an increasingly common feature, highlighting the presence of social features may not always be the optimal presentation strategy.

Abstract

The rapid rise of Wikipedia as an information source has placed the traditional role of librarians as information gatekeepers and guardians under scrutiny with much of the professional literature suggesting that librarians are polarized over the issue of whether Wikipedia is a useful reference tool. This qualitative study examines the perceptions and behaviours of National Library Board (NLB) of Singapore librarians with regards to information seeking and usage of Wikipedia. It finds that instead of polarized attitudes, most librarians, although cautious about using Wikipedia in their professional capacity, hold a range of generally positive attitudes towards the online encyclopaedia, believing that it has a valid role to play in the information seeking of patrons today. This is heartening because it suggests the existence within the librarian population of attitudes that can be tapped to engage constructively with Wikipedia. Three of these in particular are briefly discussed at the end of the article: Wikipedia's ability to appeal to the socalled "digital natives," its role as a source of non-Western information, and its potential to enable a revitalization of the role of librarians as public intellectuals contributing to a democratic information commons.

Abstract

Informationsdienste werden heutzutage von großen Teilen der Bevölkerung im Berufs- wie im Privatleben genutzt. Es ist ein wichtiges informationswissenschaftliches Thema, Informationsdienste adäquat zu beschreiben und ihre Qualität zu bewerten. Unser Information Service Evaluation (ISE) Modell führt unterschiedliche Traditionen der Evaluations- sowie der Technologieakzeptanzforschung zusammen und besteht aus fünf Dimensionen: Qualität des Informationsdienstes, Nutzer, Informationsakzeptanz, Informationsumfeld und Zeit. Der Überblicks­artikel erläutert diese Dimension und bietet einen Einblick in ein flexibel handhabbares und umfassendes holistisches Modell der Beschreibung und Bewertung von Informationsdiensten.

Abstract

Hundreds of scholarly studies have investigated various aspects of Wikipedia. Although a number of literature reviews have provided overviews of this vast body of research, none has specifically focused on the readers of Wikipedia and issues concerning its readership. In this systematic literature review, we review 99 studies to synthesize current knowledge regarding the readership of Wikipedia and provide an analysis of research methods employed. The scholarly research has found that Wikipedia is popular not only for lighter topics such as entertainment but also for more serious topics such as health and legal information. Scholars, librarians, and students are common users, and Wikipedia provides a unique opportunity for educating students in digital literacy. We conclude with a summary of key findings, implications for researchers, and implications for the Wikipedia community.

Abstract

This study analyzes the search behavior of Dutch-speaking nursing students with a nonnative knowledge of English who searched for information in MEDLINE/PubMed about a specific theme in nursing. We examine whether and to what extent their search efficiency is affected by their language skills. Our task-oriented approach focuses on three stages of the information retrieval process: need articulation, query formulation, and relevance judgment. The test participants completed a pretest questionnaire, which gave us information about their overall experience with the search system and their self-reported computer and language skills. The students were briefly introduced to the use of PubMed and MeSH (medical subject headings) before they conducted their keyword-driven subject search. We assessed the search results in terms of recall and precision, and also analyzed the search process. After the search task, a satisfaction survey and a language test were completed. We conclude that language skills have an impact on the search results. We hypothesize that language support might improve the efficiency of searches conducted by Dutch-speaking users of PubMed.

Abstract

Im Studiengang "Information Science & Engineering" der Hochschule Darmstadt untersuchten vier Studenten des vierten Semesters in der Lehrveranstaltung "Qualitätsbewertung von Informationsressourcen", betreut von Prof. Dr. Heide Gloystein, die Qualität von Online-Informationsressourcen anhand von standardisierten Suchanfragen zu einem festgelegten Thema. Die Suchergebnisse werden nach einem vorher definierten Bewertungskatalog untersucht. Die beispielhaft ausgewählten Informationsressourcen teilen sich in folgende Kategorien ein: Internet/Web 1.0, Datenbanken, Web 2.0, sowie Bibliografische Datenbanken/OPAC. Die Fachdatenbanken schneiden hierbei erwartungsgemäß am Besten ab. Weniger professionelle Informationsquellen, wie Web 2.0-Anwendungen sind ungeeignet als fachliche Informationsressource. Das Endergebnis wird zusammengefasst in einer Matrix präsentiert, die die Stärken und Schwächen der einzelnen Ressourcen durch einheitliche Bewertungskriterien vergleichbar machen.

Abstract

Wikipedia is increasingly an important source of information for many. Hence, it is important to develop an understanding of how it is situated within society and the wider roles it is called onto perform. This article argues that one of these roles is as a depository of collective memory. Building on the work of Pentzold, I present a case study of the English Wikipedia article on the Vietnam War to demonstrate that the article, or more accurately, its talk pages, provide a forum for the contestation of collective memory. I further argue that this function is one that should be supported by libraries as they position themselves within a rapidly changing digital world.
