国际儿童数字图书馆——探索儿童书籍的世界

国际儿童数字图书馆（International Children’s Digital Library,以下简称ICDL）构建了世界上最大的儿童文学在线书库,是目前最具有代表性的为儿童服务的数字图书馆。ICDL着眼于儿童的阅读行为,实现计算机科学家、图书馆员、教育工作者、学校教师、平面设计师和儿童的合作研究,让儿童参与,为儿童设计。文章通过介绍该数字图书馆的背景状况、资源收集、信息组织、咨询服务和技术支持等方面,系统揭示了该馆的成功经验和独特优势,并通过实践操作分析其存在问题,对其未来发展进行了科学展望。     

基于用户体验的数字图书馆信息服务模型构建探索

随着信息技术的高速发展,数字图书馆的信息服务正在从面向信息资源向面向用户信息活动转变,而用户体验是用户进行信息活动的直接体现。从信息资源构建与整合、交互界面和信息反馈的设计方面构建数字图书馆信息服务模型,用户与用户的交互、用户与信息的交互是用户体验的关键。     

关键成功因素视角下的数字图书馆交互评估模型

[目的/意义] 针对用户与数字图书馆交互的不同维度:信息、技术及任务,明确交互的关键成功因素,细化数字图书馆的交互评估,以帮助构建更具普适性和可操作性的评价指标体系。[方法/过程] 基于信息、技术及任务,采用实验研究方法,并在其过程中嵌入深度访谈,探究用户与数字图书馆交互的关键成功因素。[结果/结论] 研究明确了21个交互关键成功因素,例如分类合理程度、是否提供用户指南、功能集成程度、简洁程度、对网站熟悉程度等,基于此,进一步拓展了数字图书馆交互功能评估模型,并明确了用户的交互需求和用户习惯两个新的要素。相对于此前的数字图书馆交互评估模型而言,该模型更具操作性。此外,数字图书馆的设计者也可以基于此完善数字图书馆的开发与设计。     

倾斜角手势与传统界面导航技术在移动数字图书馆中的应用对比研究

[目的/意义] 通过采用高效能的界面导航技术,部分解决在移动数字图书馆的使用过程中存在的用户交互绩效低、使用体验差的问题,以提高移动数字图书馆被使用时的交互绩效、易用性及对多样化应用场景的适用性。[方法/过程] 以实际的数字图书馆资源定位操作为实验任务,通过定量实验收集所采用的界面导航技术和传统的导航技术在完成实验任务过程中的任务完成时间、准确率及被试者的主观评价等方面的数据;在SPSS 25中,采用RM-ANOVA对实验数据进行统计分析。[结果/结论] 所采用的界面导航技术相对于传统的导航技术在实验任务完成效率方面提高了68%,准确率提高了29%;在被试者反映的主观偏好和眼疲劳方面均显著优于传统技术;所采用的技术支持单手操作和"盲操作",比传统技术能更好地适应移动数字图书馆多样化的应用场景。     

基于VASL2的高校数字图书馆联盟人物角色

为更有效地设计高校数字图书馆联盟交互界面,创建和使用人物角色是一个很受欢迎的方法。建立在目标用户VASL2生活方式的人物角色,可以更好地理解用户需求。通过调查福州地区大学城7所高校图书馆用户的生活方式,透过SPSS16.0统计软件对调查数据因子分析、聚类分析、方差分析、交叉表分析的调查结果建立5个虚拟人物。     

数字图书馆中人机交互维度与用户交互绩效的关系研究

通过招募42位本科生进行实验研究,探讨数字图书馆环境中用户交互信息搜索行为与交互绩效之间的关系。结果表明,用户与数字图书馆在不同维度的交互会在不同程度上影响交互绩效。其中,技术维度的“界面易用性”、“导航清晰性”和“栏目信息组织合理性”,信息维度的“所获信息充分性”及任务维度的“获得任务所需信息的信心”显著影响且可预测用户与数字图书馆的交互绩效。     

从交互维度到交互功能:构建数字图书馆交互评估理论模型

数字图书馆评估研究从不同角度确立了大量的评估指标,但是评估指标的多元化也造成了共识性缺乏的弊端,削弱了评估成果的应用价值和应用绩效;特别是关于数字图书馆交互功能评估的研究,仍处于成果短缺、零散的状态。基于此,本研究以用户与数字图书馆的交互模型为理论基础,采用实验研究方法,探索用户与数字图书馆的交互过程,分析不同的交互维度、子维度及其相关指标对于数字图书馆交互功能评估的作用,最终获得数字图书馆交互功能评估的预测性子维度与关联性子维度,并据此构建了数字图书馆交互功能评估模型,为数字图书馆交互评估提供了理论框架,同时也为提升数字图书馆交互功能的设计提供借鉴。图1。表12。参考文献39。

儿童数字图书馆设计--SearchKids的启示

设计儿童数字图书馆不仅仅在于大量的生动有趣的多媒体资源的组织与开发，更在于营造一个学习与探索的环境，为儿童提供一种新的学习方式与手段，同时儿童本身在儿童数字图书馆的设计过程中也起到非常重要的作用。本文对马里兰大学开发的儿童数字图书馆Serachkids进行了全面的介绍与评析。     

引文分布视角下期刊评价的P指数研究

[目的/意义]针对P指数不能反映评价对象引文分布的P缺陷,在P指数研究的基础上,提出基于引文分布的指数计算方法。[方法/过程]引入发文-引文分布曲线和学术矩阵表征期刊的引文分布,利用期刊评价的非参数统计方法,通过将引文数据进行分区划分,基于P核和P尾内有引用的论文,采用期刊的平均引文率代表零引用论文的影响,重新定义P指数的计算方法,提出P_new指数。为避免学科差异对期刊评价的影响,以仅属于Web of Science数据库中电子电气工程类目下有5年影响因子的53种期刊为研究对象,分别统计期刊的影响因子、5年影响因子、H指数、P指数、P_new指数等指标,并进行相关性及差异性分析,以验证P_new指数评价的科学性和有效性。[结果/结论]结果表明,P_new指数与H指数、P指数等多个关键指标的相关性较好。与P指数相比,P_new指数既延续了其高灵敏度与高区分度的特点,又对P指数相差无几但引用分布大不相同的期刊有更好的显示度和辨识度,而且能够矫正引文分布对P指数评价的偏差。

Examples of simple transformations of the h-index: Qualitative and quantitative conclusions and consequences for other indices

General results on transformations on information production processes (IPPs), involving transformations of the h-index and related indices, are applied in concrete, simple cases: doubling the production per source, doubling the number of sources, doubling the number of sources but halving their production, halving the number of sources but doubling their production (fusion of sources) and, finally, special cases of general power law transformations. In each case we calculate concrete transformation formulae for the h-index h (transformed into h*) and we discuss when we have h* < h, h* = h or h* > h.

These results are then extended to some other h-type indices such as the g-index, the R-index and the weighted h-index.     

The technology of the human voice: Oral systems of information dissemination and retrieval among the Akan of Ghana

In an age of complex, fast and technologically based communication systems, some African societies continue to utilize indigenous communication systems (ICS) that are effective for their specific, local environments. Employing mixed methodologies, this paper examines one of these communicative systems known among the people of Elmina (and other Akan communities of Ghana) as —signified by the gong-gong—its processes and dynamics, its interrelationship with the socio-cultural milieu, and its interface with modern media. It concludes that ICS do not just represent cultural continuity; they are inclusive, interactive, and integrated into the chieftaincy institution, and continue to have an informational and educational value among rural folks. Confronting the dilemma of the interface between tradition and modernity, this essay recommends the retention of ICS alongside radio, TV, and the electronic media.     

Lotka''s distribution and distribution of co-author pairs’ frequencies

The original Lotka's Law refers to single scientist distribution, i.e. the frequency of authors A_i with i publications per author is a function of i: A_i = f(i). However, with increasing collaboration in science and in technology the study of the frequency of pairs or triples of co-authors is highly relevant. Starting with pair distribution well-ordered collaboration structures of co-author pairs will be presented, i.e. the frequency of co-author pairs N_ij between authors with i publications per author and authors with j publications per author is a function of i and j: N_ij = f(i, j) using the normal count procedure for counting i or j. We have assumed that the distribution of co-author pairs’ frequencies can be considered to be reflection of a social Gestalt and therefore can be described by the corresponding mathematical function based on well-known general characteristics of structures in interpersonal relations in social networks. We have shown that this model of social Gestalts can better explain the distribution of co-author pairs than by a simple bivariate function in analogy to Lotka's Law. This model is based on both the Gestalt theory and the old Chinese Yin/Yang theory.     

Developing Online Tutorials to Improve Information Literacy Skills for Second-Year Nursing Students of University College Dublin

This article explores the process of developing online tutorials for a specified student group, in this case Second-Year Nursing students in University College Dublin. The product was commissioned by the Health Sciences Library and the UCD School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Systems. It was developed as a “Capstone Project” for part fulfillment of the MLIS in UCD.

We focused our research on three areas of scholarship to assist in the development of our product, namely Information Behavior, Learning Technologies, and Learning Science and Design. Flemings VARK model was used to inform the team of the four different learning styles (visual, auditory, reading, and kinesthetic) and to match the presentation style to these.

An initial difficulty in the assessment phase was one of access to a large group of students, as the students were on clinical placements. We created personas and a profile of nursing students to try and compensate for this. The tutorial was developed to cater for this specific group of students and later to act as a valuable support to the Library, which is under severe pressure in terms of staff availability to support student learning.

The product is relatively straightforward to produce (and maintain) and is something the Library will be able to develop and add to in future years.
