“…The system provides a number of alternative ways to slice and dice a video so that people can see what is in the collection and obtain more information about a video segment before downloading it. Bainbridge et al [4] present a novel system for integrating the name variants in digital libraries as context and allow users to perform exploratory search. Despite the fact that these systems provide exploratory interfaces, they do not analyze the actual search intentions from individual users.…”

Exploratory search is emerging as a new form of information-seeking activity in the research community, which generally combines browsing and searching content together to help users gain additional knowledge and form accurate queries, thereby assisting the users with their seeking and investigation activities. However, there have been few attempts at addressing integrated exploratory search solutions when image browsing is incorporated into the exploring loop. In this paper, we investigate the challenges of understanding users' search interests from the product images being browsed and inferring their actual search intentions. We propose a novel interactive image exploring system for allowing users to lightly switch between browse and search processes, and naturally complete visual-based exploratory search tasks in an effective and efficient way. This system enables users to specify their visual search interests in product images by circling any visual objects in web pages, and then the system automatically infers users' underlying intent by analyzing the browsing context and by analyzing the same or similar product images obtained by large-scale image search technology. Users can then utilize the recommended queries to complete intent-specific exploratory tasks. The proposed solution is one of the first attempts to understand users' interests for a visual-based exploratory product search task by integrating the browse and search activities. We have evaluated our system performance based on five million product images. The evaluation study demonstrates that the proposed system provides accurate intent-driven search results and fast response to exploratory search demands compared with the conventional image search methods, and also, provides users with robust results to satisfy their exploring experience.Index Terms-Content-based image retrieval, exploratory search, gesture, interactive visual search, user interaction.

“…While discussing the initiatives of libraries to embed access to library resources into users' browsers, Chang and Keil (2006) noted that a browser extension acts as a constant reminder to the users regarding library resources, if prominently displayed in the browser. Support for such views is implicitly expressed in the observations of Bainbridge et al (2012), relating to the use of Java script-based browser extensions in reorganizing web content and in integrating remote data sources.…”

Purpose – The paper aims to present an outline how libraries are harnessing browser extensions to provide an easy and convenient access to library resources and services. Investigating the features, purposes of use and types of browser extensions prevalent among libraries in different regions, the paper seeks to measure the degree of implementation of browser extensions. Design/methodology/approach – Stratified sampling method was followed to select academic libraries, and convenient sampling method was applied to select public libraries from four continents – Asia, Oceania, Europe and North America. Two-step web content analysis was applied to gather data along the select dimensions. Findings – The study contributes to the recent advances in application of browser extension with numerous examples focussing on the relevance of different approaches adopted by the libraries. Providing a framework of proportionate implementation along checkpoints, the study also highlights degree of acceptance of browser extension among libraries in different regions. Research limitations/implications – The investigation was restricted to libraries having English websites and confined to four continents only. This study aims at improving understanding among the librarians about the intended use and application of browser extension and helping them benchmark their effort in support of education, research and training. The current investigation expands the scope of future research on remaining regions and website whose contents are in non-English language to attain a broader perspective of its implementation. Originality/value – The article may guide library professionals to use, develop and promote the implementation of browser extension in libraries. The checkpoints used here may serve as bedrock for framing questionnaire and interview schedule for conducting future research examining users’ perception of browser extension in the context of library resources and usage pattern, to fully comprehend its practicability and usefulness.
