Seeking Beyond with Integral: A User Study of Sense-Making Enabled by Anchor-Based Virtual Integration of Library Systems
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology(2013)
摘要
This article presents a user study showing the effectiveness of a linked‐based, virtual integration infrastructure that gives users access to relevant online resources, empowering them to design an information‐seeking path that is specifically relevant to their context. IntegraL provides a lightweight approach to improve and augment search functionality by dynamically generating context‐focused “anchors” for recognized elements of interest generated by library services. This article includes a description of how IntegraL's design supports users' information‐seeking behavior. A full user study with both objective and subjective measures of IntegraL and hypothesis testing regarding IntegraL's effectiveness of the user's information‐seeking experience are described along with data analysis, implications arising from this kind of virtual integration, and possible future directions.
