基于Web挖掘与社会网络分析的用户聚类研究

web用户聚类对于个性化服务、网站结构优化等具有重要意义。文章从用户的访问路径、项目评分等角度总结了用户聚类方法及算法,指出当前用户聚类研究存在的不足,提出了结合Web挖掘与社会网络分析方法的用户聚类的模型,分析了两者结合的必要性及结合策略,形成较为完善的用户聚类机制。     

基于大数据的用户阅读行为分析

在大数据环境下,科技文献等各类数据爆炸式增长,却难以提供快捷和有效的科技文献服务,究其原因,主要在于科技文献资源组织没有考虑科技文献用户阅读行为。分析国内外用户阅读行为,不仅要对科技文献用户阅读行为进行分析,更重要的是对科技文献阅读用户行为知识进行组织和分析,才能为科技文献服务提供支撑。文章以提高科技文献知识服务的效率为目标,以科技文献用户阅读行为为研究对象,从知识组织角度分析科技文献用户阅读行为知识,借助大数据分析方法,对用户阅读行为知识组织的准备、获取、关联分析以及服务等组织过程,总体架构科技文献阅读行为知识组织模型,并把用户阅读行为分析融入到科技文献的知识组织和服务过程中,将用户阅读行为信息升华为用户知识需求,最终指导知识提供部门为用户提供有效的科技文献知识服务。     

面向最终用户的SPARQL Endpoint检索接口与信息呈现

自语义网概念提出以来,SPARQL Endpoint作为语义网时代特有的一种服务,其发展呈现出独特的特征。文章围绕SPARQL Endpoint在用户交互及信息呈现方面存在的问题,从SPARQL Endpoint的背景与工作原理出发,对其用户需求表达交互、信息呈现以及系统功能性指标等三个方面的技术进行了对比和分析,并总结了它们的服务特点。     

学术图书馆发展的趋向分析与思考

从信息环境的网络化、用户需求的知识化、馆藏资源的同质化等方面分析了学术图书馆面临的环境巨变。通过调研国内外学术图书馆发展现状,阐述了目前学术图书馆发展的主要特征,如馆藏资源向纯数字化发展,信息服务向嵌入式知识化发展,信息组织向关联化、语义化和集成化发展,原生信息资源纳入机构知识资产管理范畴,数字图书馆员在科学数据监管中应运而生,SoLoMo成为创建下一代移动图书馆服务的理念。指出学术图书馆的发展趋向是成为以用户为中心的知识服务中心,应构建用户驱动型的知识服务范式、构建全能型的知识管理范式、构建智慧型的图书馆物理场所。同时也指出,为适应未来发展的需要,学术图书馆要倍加重视科技人员的信息需求、以用户为中心的业务布局、信息技术的应用、馆际间的协作共享和馆员素质能力的提升。     

Multilingual Digital Libraries: A review of issues in system-centered and user-centered studies,information retrieval and user behavior

Abstract

This study aims to identify, collect and critical review the research literature on Multilingual Digital Libraries in English language from 1997 to 2012.

Design/methodology/approach: The present literature review has followed the rules of systematic review. In particular, the identified relevant papers were categorized based on their expressed aim on two core themes, that of system-centered and user-centered studies. The assigned papers were further analyzed and six sub-themes emerged for the system-centered studies and four for the user-centered studies. Additional categorization was also provided according to type of publication.

Findings: The literature concerning Multilingual Digital Libraries is vast and mainly focuses on two aspects the “System” and the “Users”. The majority of papers tried to meet the challenges raised for enabling multilingual information retrieval in Digital Libraries. Unfortunately, these efforts undertaken by a small number of researchers or research groups apparently working in isolation and therefore resulting in the development of numerous different tools and techniques. Relatively few studies have focused on the user and aimed to explore users' behavior and expectations when interacting with Multilingual Digital Libraries. As a result, further research is needed to reach to some tangible and usable findings.

Originality/value: This literature review captures the diversity of the research conducted regarding multilingual information access and retrieval in Digital Libraries. It organizes the vast literature in comprehensive themes and sub-themes enabling easy access to specific information.

Limitations: This study reviews only papers in English due to language restrictions from 1997 to 2012.     

Librarians Team Up with Marketing Research Class

The Library Assessment Committee at Central Missouri State University has conducted numerous user surveys within the past three years. In an effort to come up with some creative new ideas, the Committee worked with one of the University's Marketing Research classes. The class's term project was to design a methodology to assess students' impressions of library service. Several of the ideas have been implemented, and an intern form the Marketing Department has been hired to assist with future surveys.     

User acceptance of SMS-based e-government services: Differences between adopters and non-adopters

Delivering public services through the SMS channel is popular in developed and developing countries, and it has demonstrated its benefits. However, citizens' acceptance of the services is still an issue. This paper presents a study on user acceptance of SMS-based e-government services. Constructs of the proposed model were derived from a survey on citizens' motivations for using SMS-based e-government services (142 respondents from 25 countries), prominent theories on individual acceptance of technologies, and current studies on user acceptance of SMS and e-government services. The model was validated using data from 589 citizens in three cities in Indonesia, who are non-adopters. The relationships between the factors then were compared with data from 80 adopters of SMS-based e-government services in Australia. The proposed model explains what factors influence non-adopters to accept SMS-based e-government services, and the comparison explains the relative importance of the factors for the adopters. The findings are promising for governments who wish to evaluate a new SMS-based e-government system very early in its development in order to assess potential acceptability and for governments who would like to diagnose the reasons why an existing SMS-based e-government service is not fully acceptable to citizens and to take corrective action to increase the acceptability of the service.     

Bringing in the users: The role for usability evaluation in eGovernment

During the last decade, various types of eGovernment evaluations have been proposed. These evaluations have primarily focused on international benchmarking using supply side metrics. Demand for eGovernment has been largely ignored. Recently, this oversight has been recognised, but research in this area is still in its infancy. This paper proposes the use of an already established usability literature from computer science. Advantages of applying usability methods to eGovernment include recognising barriers to use, identifying future development priorities and using already existing methods to assess and compare online offerings. Importantly, the inclusion of and focus on real users also fits with the wider government ideals of greater public participation and strengthening democracy.     

MEASUREMENT OF SERVICE AT A PUBLIC LIBRARY

Simple, efficient, unobtrusive data collection and analysis techniques were applied to study volume of use, user activity, and availability of items sought by users in a public library. Stratified sampling methods employed to measure volume of use and user activity showed that this medium-sized public library provided approximately 4,000 user service hours per week. The average visit lasted 34 minutes with 32% of all visit time spent reading library materials. Overall availability of items sought by users in the adult section was approximately 38%. The application of these measurement techniques, which can be carried out by relatively untrained staff or volunteers, to pinpoint possible improvements in library service is discussed.
