Alexandria digital library: user evaluation studies and system design

Abstract: The Alexandria Digital Library (ADL) is one of the six digital library projects funded by NSF, DARPA, and NASA. ADL's collection and services focus on information containing georeferences: maps, images, data sets, text, and other information sources with links to geographic locations. During this study period, three different user interfaces were developed and tested by user groups. User feedback was collected through various formal and informal approaches and the results fed back into the design and implement… Show more

“…The criteria listed in the (Borgman, 2000 Marchionini, 2001;Sumner, 2001), focus groups (Hill, 1007(Hill, & 2000 Marchionini, 2001), ethnographic observations (Borgman, 2000 Hill, 1997 & 20000;Khoo, 2001; Marchionini, 2001;Seadle & Peters, 2000), and content analysis (Marchionini, 2001). By contrast, quantitative methods are much employed to evaluate system performance and the outcome of digital information organization and representation.…”

“…The most frequently used methods are log analysis (Abbas, 2002; Carter, 2001;Jones, 2000;Sfakakis & Kapidakis, 2002) and experiments (Baldonado, 2000;Hee;Hidaka, 2001;Ma, 2001;Park, 2000;Purcell et al, 1997;Rui, 2000;Sumner, 2001. Survey (Hill, 1997(Hill, & 2000, as a special research method somewhere between the qualitative and quantitative approaches, is also widely used.…”

“…Κατά την πρώτη περίπτωση, οι σχεδιαστές ψηφιακών βιβλιοθηκών και οι θεωρητικοί της χρησιμότητας σε αυτά τα περιβάλλοντα [Covey, 2002] ακολούθησαν τις διδαχές της κοινότητας Αλληλεπίδρασης Ανθρώπου Μηχανής που πρότεινε την συνδυαστική εφαρμογή μεθόδων [Doubleday et al, 1997]. Χαρακτηριστικά παραδείγματα παραμένουν οι αξιολογήσεις των έργων Alexandria Digital Library [Hill et al, 2000], DeLIver [Bishop, et al, 2002] και Envision [Fox et al, 1993], όπου οι συγκριτικές και εποπτικές μέθοδοι, συνδυάστηκαν με μεθόδους αρχείων καταγραφής, ερωτηματολογίων και συνεντεύξεων. Παράλληλα η πρακτική αυτή, η οποία εύστοχα ονομάστηκε από την Buttenfield [1999] «το συγκλίνον παράδειγμα», απέδωσε τη συγκριτική αξιολόγηση των μεθόδων που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν.…”
