(2006). HDLalert -a healthcare DL alerting system: from user needs to implementation. Health Informatics Journal, 12 (2) In this paper, we detail alerting-relevant findings from several user studies incorporating both clinical staff (across several hospitals) and patients' perceptions. These findings demonstrate the importance of context, both in terms of the user's task and immediate environment. We introduce a novel alerting architecture that can provide a more finely tailored stream of alerts to the user, and provides further support to assist the interpretation of received material

This paper presents an investigation of alternative methods of digital library creation and configuration. Dynamic collection previews were utilized in order to assist collection administrators when creating and managing collections. Greenstone was used as a test-bed for investigating the potential benefits of this approach. A prototype was developed to explore the effects of dynamic previews when applied to one component of Greenstone collection configuration. A preliminary study indicated that users preferred dynamic previews to Greenstone's traditional approach to collection configuration. Moreover, this paper identifies a number of potential avenues for improvement elsewhere within Greenstone and other DL management software.
