“…Deridder and Matheny () point out that the gathering of digital data across multiple interfaces and platforms creates chaos for the research process, and even experienced researchers often struggle with this. Consequently, some new search systems have recently been developed to facilitate access to scholarly information; see, for example, Odysci Academic Search System by Bergamaschi, de Oliveira, Kumon, and Rezende ().…”

“…Research and understanding of the user context and behavior are therefore of paramount importance, as pointed out by several DL researchers (see, for example, Clough, 2012;Duff, 2012;Nicholas & Clark, 2012;Osborne, 2012). Deridder and Matheny (2014) point out that the gathering of digital data across multiple interfaces and platforms creates chaos for the research process, and even experienced researchers often struggle with this.

Arguing that environmental sustainability is a growing concern for digital information systems and services, this paper proposes a simple methodology for estimation of the energy and environmental costs of digital libraries and information services. It is shown that a number of factors contribute to the overall energy and environmental costs of ICT in general, and digital information systems and services in particular. It is also shown that end-user energy costs play a key role in the overall environmental costs of a digital library or information service. It is argued that appropriate user research, transaction log analysis, user modelling, and better design and delivery of services can significantly reduce the user interaction time, and thus the environmental costs of digital information systems and services making them more sustainable.
