“…To this end, we have designed and implemented a novel academic digital library search interface called KLink Search (Shukla & Hoeber, 2021) that uses visually linked keywords and an interactive workspace to support exploratory browsing. The visually linked keywords provide lightweight visualizations and simple interactivity to enable searchers to highlight keywords and use these to browse the search results.…”

While the search interfaces used by common academic digital libraries provide easy access to a wealth of peer-reviewed literature, their interfaces provide little support for exploratory browsing. When faced with a complex search task (such as one that requires knowledge discovery), exploratory browsing is an important first step in an exploratory search process. To more effectively support exploratory browsing, we have designed and implemented a novel academic digital library search interface (KLink Search) with two new features: visually linked keywords and an interactive workspace. To study the potential value of these features, we have conducted a controlled laboratory study with 32 participants, comparing KLink Search to a baseline digital library search interface modelled after that used by IEEE Xplore. Based on subjective opinions, objective performance, and behavioural data, we show the value of adding lightweight visual and interactive features to academic digital library search interfaces to support exploratory browsing.

“…Many academic search interfaces are designed around the lookup model as the main search paradigm, with the addition of advanced features such as search history, citation chaining, and recommendations. While recent research has investigated the value of adding new interface features to support academic search [7,8,10,16,20,22] there is room for further study on methods to enable multistage and exploratory search strategies, as well as methods to detect the type of query used [15] so that the interface can intelligently guide the user to choose search strategies that are appropriate for their needs.…”

When searching within an academic digital library, a variety of information seeking strategies may be employed. The purpose of this study is to determine whether graduate students choose appropriate information seeking strategies for the complexity of a given search scenario, and to explore among other factors that could influence their decisions. We used a survey method in which participants (n=33) were asked to recall their most recent instance of an academic digital library search session that matched two given scenarios (randomly chosen from four alternatives), and for each scenario identify whether they employed search strategies associated with four different information seeking models. Although we expected that the information seeking strategies used would be influenced by the search scenario, this was not the case. The factors that affected whether a participant would use an advanced information seeking strategy were based on their graduate-level academic search training and their primary research methodology. These findings highlight that while it is important to train graduate students on how to conduct academic digital library searches, more work is needed to train them on matching the information seeking strategies to the complexity of their search tasks and developing interfaces that guide their search process.

“…Depending on the algorithm in the CiteSpace software, the cultural heritage digitalization of cultural heritage 2012-2022 keywords emerge graph (Figure 6). The length of the red line represents the time interval of the emergence [11]. Secondly, from Figure 6, the related nodes that last in 23 keywords in the 2022 period mainly include "digital technology", "cultural inheritance", "inheritance", "big data", "construction protection", "cultural tourism integration" "Database" 7 keywords.…”

Due to the digitization of cultural heritage, there has been an increase in its protection and development and a renewed vitality to it. This article examines the digitalization of cultural heritage and the research results and progress in the fields at home and abroad. For visual processing and display, use Cite Space software to measure the research literature for 10 years of the CNKI database. By analyzing and organizing three major phenomena in digitalizing cultural heritage: (1) Study hotspots and direction "multi-bloom, diverse development". (2) Research institutions and personnel are more independent. (3) The trend of research into emerging digital technology is relatively obvious. Based on the overall analysis, the research status of the two major needs to be improved: (1) Strengthen the cooperation and connection between colleges and universities, cultural relics protection departments, and museums. (2) Grasp the internal connection in digitalizing emerging digital technology and cultural heritage.
