The Effect of Web Search Result Display on Users’ Perceptual Experience and Information Seeking Performance

ABSTRACT

Adding multiple sources of information in the display of Web search results may negatively affect users’ perceptual experience and information-seeking behavior. This claim was established by investigating the impact of different Web search compositions on users’ ability to extract specific information. In this article, we assumed that the quantity and order of different compositions (areas) in the Web search results page may contribute to individual’s ability to find information relevant to their search queries. An eye-tracking device was used to observe and compare the perceptual behavior of 14 users in an information-seeking task. The results showed that the use of different compositions in the display of Web results page significantly influenced users’ perceptual experience by reducing their attention to the organic results area. The quantity of these compositions was found to greatly increase the cognitive load of users when attempting to retrieve information from the organic area, which negatively affects their information-seeking performance. Our finding provides a rationale for further studies to consider the impact of quantity and order of Web page compositions on individuals’ perceptual attention and cognitive load in information-seeking task settings.     

基于Usage Metrics的中文学术论文用户平台偏好和兴趣偏好比较研究

研究中文学术论文用户使用模式有助于分析使用规律,为应用决策提供依据。本文以八个学科被CSSCI或CSCD收录的61本开放获取期刊发表于2014—2015年的学术论文为样本,以期刊官网和信息集成平台上的使用数据为来源,采用Usage Metrics的方法,从用户平台偏好和用户兴趣偏好两方面比较中文学术论文的用户使用模式。研究发现:①期刊官网与信息集成平台的用户平台偏好存在差异。一是从学科视角看,用户整体上倾向于使用期刊官网而不是信息集成平台获取所需论文,而社会科学的信息集成平台篇均下载次数均大于自然科学。二是从期刊视角看,社会科学用户比自然科学用户更倾向于使用信息集成平台获取所需论文;与信息集成平台相比,期刊官网的用户下载数据呈现更为明显的“两级分化”现象;期刊官网下载次数与信息集成平台下载次数整体上的相关性较低。②期刊官网与信息集成平台的用户兴趣偏好存在差异。每本期刊官网和信息集成平台下载次数前20%的学术论文的Jaccard相似系数较低;在所列举的图书馆、情报与文献学中,期刊官网与信息集成平台的用户关注主题不同。图7。表5。参考文献37。     

生存分析法在学术期刊评价上的应用初探

期刊评价中文献老化理论视角的研究相对薄弱。本文探究生存分析法在学术期刊评价上的应用,在理论上 克服了因领域差异导致的壁垒,并选取CSTPCD中30家中文物理学科期刊作为样本数据集进行实证研究。通过对论文 被引时序数据进行分析,研究物理学科文献老化规律,并选取样本期刊进行对比分析,以探究期刊评价的新思路。     

试论新增专业文献建设的困境及其对策

文献信息建设是高校教育特别是新增专业建设和发展的重要内容，也是其三大支撑性要素之一，而我国各个院校都面临着新增专业学科文献信息建设明显不足和失措的困境．这种普遍性状况源于新增专业学科文献信息建设中先天性、源头性、境遇性、制度性和主体性等一系列相互关联的因素．各院校图书馆应该坚持对策性原则，加强新增专业文献信息建设，以走出目前的困境并推进新增专业的学科发展．     

‘It's The Catcher in the Rye… He said it was the kind of book you made your own': Finding Holden in Contemporary YA Literature

Published in 1951,The Catcher in the Rye encapsulated teenage angst. Some time ago David Belbin mused about the influence of Catcher on the proliferation and popularity of YA literature. Salinger's recent death has sparked a renewed interest in his work and more attention on Holden and his inheritors. This article discusses how five recent adolescent novels, with male protagonists, mirror Holden's adolescent paralysis. They exist in a liminal state between childhood and adulthood, attempting to understand the phonies around them. These protagonists help define the nature of the ‘lost’ adolescent in the current golden age of YA literature.     

表现主义论争：起因、内容及其思考

表现主义作为德国现代主义文艺思潮，在美术、文学、电影、音乐和建筑等领域都取得了明显的成就，但在表现主义文艺思潮沉寂之后的1937—1938年间的关于这场文艺运动的论争再次将人们的视线引向表现主义，这场论争有一定的偏向性，但论争本身也使人们加深了对表现主义的理解，该文拟对这场论证的缘起和内容进行说明，并指出这场论争的意义。
