信息偶遇行为研究的知识脉络与前沿展望

[目的/意义]对信息偶遇行为展开深入的系统综述分析,以推动本研究领域学术创新以及相关信息服务领域的应用创新。[方法/过程]以CNKI和Web of Science为数据源,采用系统综述方法对该领域最具代表性的41篇文献展开分析。在知识脉络研究部分,从理论模型、研究方法和影响因素等视角进行系统的梳理和归纳;在前沿展望部分,将用户信息偶遇的过程分解为偶遇前、偶遇中、偶遇后3个阶段,并对偶遇后续行为的研究进行总结。[结果/结论]信息偶遇行为是信息、个体、技术和环境共同作用的结果。偶遇信息使用研究是目前的研究热点,而基于信息搜寻过程链的信息偶遇研究、基于移动互联网的信息偶遇研究、基于客观数据驱动的信息偶遇研究以及基于跨学科信息偶遇交叉研究等是未来可行的、具有较大研究价值的热点选题。

In Byzantium1

During Spring 1997 we experimented with a research method combining quantitative and qualitative approaches to documenting visitor experiences in The Glory of Byzantium, a special exhibition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to using standard demographic and behavior surveys, a small team of researchers and volunteers gathered information, compared experiences, and summarized their observations of people in the exhibition. Each team member conducted about a dozen structured conversations with visitors as they left the exhibition. Subsequently the team met as an informal focus group to describe their experiences. We found that many museum users arrived with relevant experiences and high expectations for this somewhat specialized exhibition; we also found users whose approach to the exhibition was less well‐informed, but whose enthusiasm and trust for the museum experience moved them to attend with satisfaction. We believe that such team approaches to research might well be used as a regular part of museum work as we search for answers to the many elusive questions about museum use.
