RUTGERS RESEARCHER WINS MAJOR FEDERAL GRANT
Study to measure mental effort expended by subjects seeking information
Jacek Gwizdka , assistant professor of library and information science in Rutgers University’s School of Communication and Information, has been awarded a $335,000 Early Career Development Project grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Google Inc. is funding current research by Gwizdka that provides a foundation for this new project, which will entail developing and validating a new framework for non-intrusive, continuous monitoring and assessment of cognitive load (mental effort) experienced by users of digital libraries. This framework will then be validated in an experiment where cognitive load will be controlled. A second experiment later will be conducted in which the new framework will be applied to assessing cognitive load in realistic information-seeking scenarios. This project will result in a new understanding of the mental effort required by those engaged in information seeking. Results of the study will inform the design of digital libraries and other interactive information systems.
“Empirical and anecdotal evidence suggests that heightened mental effort makes some people avoid certain features of interactive search interfaces—for example, people avoid providing relevance feedback—while others get lost in Web-based digital libraries,” Gwizdka said. “As a result, some people may be unsuccessful in finding the needed information. This problem becomes critical as society moves toward relying on electronic delivery of information vital to citizen’s lives, including financial information, health information, and health records.”
The project will develop a system to continuously monitor a person’s cognitive load by combining keyboard and mouse activity with physiological signals , such as the signals registered by electroencephalography. While EEG has been used to infer cognitive load in other contexts, it has never been used in the context of digital libraries and information-seeking tasks.
Competition for the federal grant, which is through the IMLS 21st Century Librarian Program, was intense, with only 2 out of 24 (8 percent) applications chosen for funding.

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to take part in a survey on the training
needs of staff in the field of digital preservation and digital curation
within Europe and internationally which Goettingen State and University
Library, Germany, is carrying out on behalf of Digital Curator
Vocational Education Europe (DigCurV).
DigCurV is a project funded by the European Commissions Leonardo da
Vinci programme and brings together organisations from Europe, Canada
and the USA. Ireland is linked to the project through the participation
of Trinity College Dublin.
DigCurV (www.digcur-education.org) aims to address the availability of
vocational training and education in digital preservation and curation
by developing a curriculum and an interna-tional framework for training,
as a response to the growing demand for staff with the skills and
competences needed for the long-term management of digital collections
in cultural insti-tutions. We are currently carrying out research to
survey and analyse both the existing train-ing opportunities and
training needs in the sector to inform the development of the curricu-lum.
We are inviting managers, curators and experts in digital preservation
to take part in this sur-vey of training needs. Your input will really
help inform the curriculum framework and we greatly appreciate your time
in assisting with this research.
The survey is online at
http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/544426/DigCurV-Survey-on-Training-Needs
and will take you about 15 minutes to complete.
We would be grateful for your response by 7th August.
Yours sincerely,
Claudia Engelhardt and
Stefan Strathmann

The DigCurV training needs survey is anonymous. Respondents will not be
identified in the results, which will only used for the purpose of the
survey or future research on digital preservation-training related
topics; it will be treated as confidential according to the German
Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz/BDSG).

Kent State announces "eDegree," a completely online M.L.I.S.
Earn your master's degree without disrupting your life, without leaving your current job and relocating, and without physically sitting in a classroom.
The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Kent State University is offering a new, innovative way to complete a Master of Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) degree. The eDegree program is Web-based -- all courses will be completed online.
Join us for a live, interactive online open house on Thursday, July 28, at either noon or 6 p.m. to learn more about eDegree. Greg Byerly, Ph.D., and eDegree Administrative Clerk Mary Paschen will briefly describe the program and then answer your questions.
To participate, send an email to [log in to unmask] to receive a link to connect to the presentation.
eDegree FAQs
WHY SHOULD I GET MY MASTER'S DEGREE FROM KENT STATE?
The Kent State School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) has one of the largest library and information science graduate programs in the country, with nearly 700 graduate students. It is accredited by the American Library Association (ALA) and ranked in the top 20 by U.S. News and World Report, and its youth librarianship program is ranked 13th.
WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE SPECIALIZATIONS?
The eDegree currently offers four specializations for your online degree.
. Children and Young Adult Librarianship . Public Librarianship . K-12 School Library Media Specialist . Museum Studies - NEW!
WHAT ARE THE TIMEFRAME & SCHEDULE?
The eDegree is designed for your convenience and to meet your schedule.
Applications for Fall 2011 are now being accepted. Interested students should apply as soon as possible.
Students can complete the online coursework required for their specialization (e.g., museum studies) within the MLIS degree either through the Two-Year Option or the Fast Track Option (12-15 months).
The courses are offered during Kent State's scheduled semesters and vary in terms of length (e.g., some may be 10-week classes, while other may run 15 weeks). You will know the schedule of courses from the time you begin the program to graduation.
Courses will not "meet" at a specific time each week. However, some professors may choose to require a synchronous presence on some occasions during the course, but these will be scheduled in advance.
HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?
For additional information and to apply, go to the SLIS website (www.slis.kent.edu) and click on eDegree program. Or, contact Mary Paschen, eDegree Adm. Clerk, at [log in to unmask]
(Note: eDegree replaces the School's "12-12-12 Distance Learning Degree" program.)
All the best,

Subject: Price of Typos, or, Rushing to Publish-Virginia Heffernan,
NY Times
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
This Opinionator blog post from the NY Times may come in handy for those
students working on dissertations this summer :-)
Some of you may have read this already-pls excuse any duplication
--Best, kw
from the New York Times:
"The Price of Typos" by Virginia Heffernan
Opinionator blog July 17, 2011
Excerpts:
..."Bad spellers are a breed apart from good ones. A writer with a
mind that doesn't register how words are spelled tends to see through
the words he encounters--straight to the things, characters, ideas,
images and emotions they conjure. A good speller, by contrast--the
kind who never fails to clock the idiosyncratic orthography of
"algorithm" or "Albert Pujols" --tends to see language as a system.
Good spellers are often drawn to poetry and wordplay, while bad
spellers, for whom language is a conduit and not an end in itself, can
excel at representation and reportage."
Excerpts:
...Editors I spoke to confirmed my guesses. Before digital technology
unsettled both the economics and the routines of book publishing, they
explained, most publishers employed battalions of full-time copy
editors and proofreaders to filter out an author's mistakes. Now,
they are gone."
"There is also "pressure to publish more books more quickly than
ever," an editor at a major publishing house explained. Many
publishers now skip steps. "In the past, you really readied the book
in several discrete stages," Paul Elie, a senior editor at Farrar,
Straus and Giroux, explained. "Manuscript, galley proofs, revised
proofs, blue lines. You marked your changes at each stage, and then
the compositor incorporated them and sent you the next intermediate
stages of proof--the text is fluid, in motion, and this leads to
typos."
"Authors, too, bear some blame for the typo explosion...Use of the
word processor has resulted in a substantial decline in author
discipline and attention. Manuscripts are much longer than they were
25 years ago, much more casually assembled, and beyond spell check
(and not even then; and of course it will miss typos if the word is a
word) it is amazing how little review seems to have occurred before
the text is sent to the editor. Seriously, you have no idea how
sloppy some of these things are." ...
Excerpts:
..."Rushing to publish and overlooking glaring typos may have become
part of the new economics of traditional publishing. But on the Web,
typos sometimes come with a price. "Spelling mistakes 'cost millions'
in lost online sales," said a BBC headline last week. The article
cited an analysis of British Web figures that suggested that a single
spelling mistake on an e-commerce site can hurt credibility so much
that online revenues fall by half."...

New Journal Features Student Research
On July 15, the San Jose State University School of Library and Information
Science (SLIS) published the inaugural issue of its Student Research
Journal, which provides a venue for the School's graduate students to share
their knowledge with the professional community.
The peer-reviewed research journal is an open-access scholarly publication
comprised of SLIS student submissions. "We want it to represent a broad
spectrum of scholarship," said SLIS student Suzanne Scott, who is
Editor-in-Chief of the new journal. Articles will feature graduate
scholarship in the fields of library and information science, archives and
records management, and museum studies.
Nine SLIS students serve on the journal's editorial team, with guidance
provided by faculty advisor Dr. Anthony Bernier and an editorial advisory
board.
The journal will receive submissions on a rolling basis and publish two
issues annually. It is the university's first student governed, online,
peer-reviewed research journal.

For my part, however, I'm not at all sure to what extent those
students working on dissertations this summer, or at any other
time, or indeed any one else, should put faith in such -- to all
appearances -- cavalier assertions as the following :

I have, myself, very real doubts that there exist any
demonstrable significant correlations of the sort being
simplistically and nonchalantly posited here. ( Am I the
only one ? )
I don't notice that Heffernan alludes to any studies that
would serve to back up her seemingly off-the-cuff obiter
dicta. [ Slight redundancy intentional, for purposes of
emphasis :-). ]
Have such hypotheses in fact ever been a subject of any
credible research ? How, indeed, could one best *go about
testing* them ? I'd be genuinely interested to hear from
anyone who is aware of any relevant published results at all.
Especially since this *looks* like an urban myth which
Heffernan is serving up for us.

Not wishing to sound too simplistic, nonchalant or cavalier-esque either, (huh)
if you re-read the NY Times at all, it's called the
opinionator blog i.e. not a research report
I think people in NY know a thing or two also about publishing and good writing
You could serve up your own question to the comments section of her blog post
and see what others say who are readers of the NY Times as well.
Tally ho and all that,
Karen (was that cavalier of me?)

>> the words he encounters--straight to the things, characters, ideas,
>> images and emotions they conjure. A good speller, by contrast--the

>> Good spellers are often drawn to poetry and wordplay, while bad
>> spellers, for whom language is a conduit and not an end in itself, can
>> excel at representation and reportage."
>>
>> Excerpts:
>> ...Editors I spoke to confirmed my guesses. Before digital technology
>> unsettled both the economics and the routines of book publishing, they
>> explained, most publishers employed battalions of full-time copy
>> editors and proofreaders to filter out an author's mistakes. Now,
>> they are gone."
>>
>> "There is also "pressure to publish more books more quickly than
>> ever," an editor at a major publishing house explained. Many
>> publishers now skip steps. "In the past, you really readied the book
>> in several discrete stages," Paul Elie, a senior editor at Farrar,
>> Straus and Giroux, explained. "Manuscript, galley proofs, revised
>> proofs, blue lines. You marked your changes at each stage, and then
>> the compositor incorporated them and sent you the next intermediate
>> stages of proof--the text is fluid, in motion, and this leads to
>> typos."
>>
>> "Authors, too, bear some blame for the typo explosion...Use of the
>> word processor has resulted in a substantial decline in author
>> discipline and attention. Manuscripts are much longer than they were
>> 25 years ago, much more casually assembled, and beyond spell check
>> (and not even then; and of course it will miss typos if the word is a
>> word) it is amazing how little review seems to have occurred before
>> the text is sent to the editor. Seriously, you have no idea how
>> sloppy some of these things are." ...
>>
>> Excerpts:
>>
>> ..."Rushing to publish and overlooking glaring typos may have become
>> part of the new economics of traditional publishing. But on the Web,
>> typos sometimes come with a price. "Spelling mistakes 'cost
>> millions'
>> in lost online sales," said a BBC headline last week. The article
>> cited an analysis of British Web figures that suggested that a single

The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Kent State University is offering four new museum studies workshops this fall. One is completely online (Museums and the Law), while the other three are on-site in Kent or a combination of on-site/online.
The workshops are part of the new museum studies program SLIS is launching this fall. Courses and workshops are open to students in the Master of Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) degree program, as well as to other graduate students and interested professionals.
Because the SLIS museum studies courses are structured within a library and information science framework, students are able to cut across the spectrum of traditional academic disciplines and strengthen their skills as future museum professionals by gaining a broader perspective, a larger knowledge base and more flexibility. The museum studies specialization will prepare students with the knowledge and skills required not only to work in traditional careers as librarians and registrars in museums, for example, but also to serve as information professionals in many additional capacities and in any type of museum.
For more information about the new museum studies program at Kent State, visit http://www.slis.kent.edu/content/view/386/78/ or contact Dr. Kiersten F. Latham at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> . To view a recorded online open house presentation about the program, visit http://www.slis.kent.edu/content/view/389/78/. (The video requires Microsoft Silverlight; download it free at http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/. Click on the "Download Silverlight" icon in the top right corner.)
Fall 2011 Museum Studies Workshops
Kent State students can register for workshops via FlashLine. Non-Kent State students should call The Office of Continuing and Distance Education at 330-672-3100 to register.
Writing and Developing an Exhibit Script
Blended format
Sept. 12: Online content available
Friday and Saturday, Sept. 23 and 24, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Kent, 317 or 319 Library
Christine M. Shearer
All exhibitions require expertise in writing and developing an exhibition script, starting with the initial exhibition proposal highlighting the theme, audience and significance. In addition, external communication to public outlets and the internal components of the exhibition itself must be scripted and send a cohesive message. Students will learn the written components of exhibition development; will write an exhibition proposal; and will work in a team environment to develop an exhibition concept and written materials.
Museum Object Preparation Methods
Saturdays, Oct. 8 and 15, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Kent, Murphy Auditorium: Rockwell Hall, Room OM204
James L. Williams
This workshop will introduce basic concepts and techniques for presenting museum objects and artifacts for display. Topics covered include assessing object strengths and weaknesses, appropriate materials for the task, preservation and conservation considerations and basic mountmaking materials.
Developing Memorable Museum Tours
Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14 and 15, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Kent, 317 or 319 Library (no lab)
Edith Serkownek
This workshop will examine the important role that museum tours play in fulfilling museums' educational and programmatic goals. Students will examine the various types and styles of personally and technologically mediated tours and look at their successful development as well as weighing their relative strengths and limitations. Students will learn to use museum tours as a tool for communicating with specialized museum audiences including children, families and special interest groups.
Museums and the Law
Nov. 1 - 9, 100% online
John Simmons
In this workshop, students will examine the ways in which museums and the law intersect from a variety of perspectives including museum organization and board functions, national and international laws and regulations, intellectual property, cultural appropriation, and freedom of expression. Students will gain a broad overview of the most significant legislation and regulations that affect museum operations.

Foundations of Museum Studies (LIS 60700) - offered Fall 2011
Introduces various aspects of museums, including types of museums; history, organization, collections, architecture and issues in museums; as well as of museums in the community and roles in the museum.
Museum Collections (LIS 60701)
Provides a theoretical and practical overview of the organization, care and meaning of objects held in museum collections, along with basic collection management, registration and preservation skills. Prerequisite: 60700.
Museum Communication (LIS 60702) - offered Fall 2011
Examines practical and conceptual elements in the many ways museums communicate with the public: through interpretation, exhibition, publication, educational programming and on the Web. Prerequisite: 60700.
Museum Users (LIS 60703)
Explores the research and theory related to learning, engagement and transformative experiences of users, characteristics of users, the social dynamics of the museum experience and programmatic techniques and methods used to increase engagement and learning for visitors. Prerequisite: 60700.
Museum Origins (LIS61095 & as a workshop)
In the context of today's world, students will "go back in time" for two weeks in Florence, Italy, to understand the origins of Western museums and the meaning of publicly shared collections. Exploring the past in this way will help today's museum professionals gain a better understanding of their own role and purpose in their community, society and nation. Scheduled for Summer 2012.
All the best,
Flo

2012 ALISE Annual Conference
Extending Our Reach: Expanding Horizons, Creating Opportunities
Tuesday, January 17 through Friday, January 20--Dallas, TX
Call for Juried Paper Proposals
Deadline for extended abstracts (maximum 1,000 words): July 30, 2011
Notification: September 15, 2011
This call for juried paper proposals seeks original contributions including reports of research, theory, pedagogy, best practices, think pieces, and critical essays that contribute to elaboration of the conference theme of "Extending Our Reach: Expanding Horizons, Creating Opportunities." Information touches all aspects of our personal and work lives, and the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) has been quick to engage across disciplines as social, cultural, and institutional realities have evolved. Staying connected in the midst of continuous, sometimes profound, change is not simply reassuring, but a strategic imperative to the growth and health of society, and, along with it, to the design and promotion of LIS, and of LIS education.
The theme for the 2012 ALISE Annual Conference builds on that notion of connectedness, and asks us to think beyond, to stretch, to extend our reach--beyond disciplinary boundaries, across the academy, outside of North America, and to areas where a deep understanding of the information lifecycle, of the systems that engage with it, and the individuals who depend upon it have been beyond the scope of LIS/Information Studies research and education previously. (More information on the conference theme can be found at http://www.alise.org/.)
Proposals should be for original papers, not for papers that have been previously published. There are no restrictions on research methodology. Alternative perspectives, creative and non-conventional responses to library and information science education concerns within the context of expanding our horizons are welcomed and encouraged!
Instructions for Submission
Extended abstracts should include the following:
o Title of paper
o Names, affiliations, and contact information of the authors and one author designated as the contact for the paper
o Up to 1,000 word description of the proposed paper
o Select reference list
Abstracts will be evaluated by the Juried Paper Proposals Committee according to the following criteria:
o Connection to conference theme
o Relevance to current and emerging issues in LIS education
o Originality of ideas
o Potential impact / significance
o Select references to relevant literature
o Overall quality of writing
The Conference Juried Paper Proposals Committee Chair will send an acknowledgment of all abstracts received and applicants will be informed of the committee's decisions by September 15, 2011. Conference presentation time slots will be published in the conference program. All presenters are required to register for the ALISE 2012 Conference.
Deadline for submissions is July 30, 2011. Please submit abstracts via email in PDF or WORD format to Don Latham, Florida State University: [log in to unmask]
Please note: Juried paper proposals accepted for presentation at the conference, which are developed into full papers, are eligible for consideration for the JELIS "best papers" conference issue. Deadline for submission of full papers for possible publication in JELIS will be March 1, 2012, and those submissions should be made to the editors of JELIS.

Call for Works in Progress Posters
Deadline for Extended Abstracts (maximum 250 words): October 3, 2011
Notification of Acceptance: No later than November 7, 2011
Attendees of the conference are invited to share current research through posters presented at the Works in Progress Showcase. Participants receive feedback in an informal setting. This is an excellent opportunity to identify collaborators and obtain feedback that may enrich research. The poster may represent any aspect of the researchers work: proposal, theoretical framework, methodology, findings, etc.
The posters for the Works in Progress Showcase are neither refereed nor judged. We do have limited space for the posters so we will accept based on the availability of space for display.
Eligibility:
All conference attendees are welcome to submit posters of their work in progress. Doctoral students may not submit the same research presented in the doctoral student research competition.
Submissions (in word or PDF) for the Works in Progress Posters should include the following:
* Full Name of Presenter(s)
* Contact Information (e-mail & phone)
* School Affiliation
* Academic Status
* Select one area ONLY from the ALISE LIS Research Areas Classification Scheme & include both the numerical and verbal designations: http://www.alise.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=55727&orgId=ali

Dear Colleague,
Over 500 of you have responded to our call for ideas for IMLS's
Strategic Plan at http://imls.ideascale.com <http://imls.ideascale.com>
. We are thrilled with this response and inspired by the ideas you are
sharing. If you have not yet taken a look, please visit the site to
share your ideas and comments. You can help rank ideas by voting to
agree or disagree. If you have already visited, thank you, and please
consider checking back in on the community to see how it is growing.
Interestingly, the number one ranked idea is about promoting
preservation of physical and digital content, followed closely behind by
ideas that encourage IMLS to "cultivate a culture of planning and
evaluation," Identify and disseminate best practices to support
learning" and "streamline the grants administration process."
Other ideas highlight the roles of museums and libraries in early
learning and information literacy and support a wide range of
partnerships.
I hope that you will visit the site and add your voice to this national
conversation.
Best wishes,
Mamie Bittner, Director
Office of Communications and Government Affairs
Institute of Museum and Library Services

Subject: Second Call: BOBCATSSS 2012
Dear Sir or Madam,
we are delighted to invite you to the 20th BOBCATSSS Symposium on
information management taking place in Amsterdam from January 23 to
January 25, 2012. The special topic will be "information in e-motion", containing the following subtopics:
E-Media in motion: Nowadays an increasing amount of data is only accessible through digital media. The devices being used to gain access to this data are developing rapidly.
Organization 2.0: The globalised world demands us to find new ways of collaborating, learning and working. As a result of that, we will have to find alternative ways and tools to record and archive our information.
My Information: Instead of using a personal diary a lot of people are sharing their thoughts online nowadays, on social networks, communities and blogs, hardly hiding their personal information. How can people keep track of other people seeing, using and sharing their content?
Access to Public Information: In a democratic process it is crucial that citizens have access to public information. How can that be made possible and how can people learn to use that information critically?
You are very welcome to take active part in the conference by
contributing a speech, workshop or poster, whether you're a
professional, teacher or student.
You can submit a contribution and / or register as a participant by using our Conference Administration Tool: https://www.conftool.pro/bobcatsss2012/
For further information, please see our website http://www.bobcatsss2012.org/
We'd be pleased to receive your abstract until October 1, 2011 and are
looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam.
Yours faithfully,
Ilka Schiele
BOBCATSSS 2012 Programme Team
and
Selina Chadde

Dear colleagues,
In response to the recent update of the Web-of-Science interface (v5) of the
Science Citation Index, I recompiled the following programs:
1. ISI.exe <http://www.leydesdorff.net/software/isi> for the organization
of downloads into the structure of relational database management;
2. Instcoll.exe <http://www.leydesdorff.net/software/instcoll/index.htm>
for the network analysis at the institutional level;
3. Intcoll.exe <http://www.leydesdorff.net/software/intcoll/index.htm> for
the network analysis at the country level;
2. Cities1.exe <http://www.leydesdorff.net/maps> for the (Google) mapping
of cities and networks (Leydesdorff & Persson, JASIST, 2010);
3. Inst1.exe <http://www.leydesdorff.net/maps> for the similar mapping at
the institutional level.
The latter two programs can also used for the mapping of excellence at the
city or institutional level:
http://www.leydesdorff.net/topcity (Bornmann & Leydesdorff (JASIST, 2011)
and http://www.leydesdorff.net/mapping_excellence (Bornmann et al., JoI,
2011).
The programs have been recompiled using Win32 software instead of the 16-bit
Dos. Thus, one can run them under a 64-bits operating system. If you run the
program from the C-prompt it either finishes or provides an informative
error message.
The fields containing information other than addresses were not changed. I
therefore do not intend to recompile the other programs, but one should be
aware that there can be incompatibilities between downloads in v4 or v5 in
the address information.
With best wishes,
Loet

OCLC releases new membership research report:
Seeking Synchronicity: Revelations and Recommendations for Virtual Reference
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, July 18, 2011—A ground-breaking membership report from OCLC Research suggests that by transforming virtual reference ( VR ) service encounters into relationship-building opportunities, librarians can better leverage the positive feelings people have for libraries. This is critically important in a crowded online space where the biggest players often don’t have the unique experience and specific strengths offered by librarians.
The report— Seeking Synchronicity: Revelations and Recommendations for Virtual Reference —demonstrates that today’s students, scholars and citizens are not just looking to libraries for answers to specific questions—they want partners and guides in a lifelong information-seeking journey.
Produced by OCLC Research in partnership with Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, the report distils more than five years of VR research, with $1.1 million in funding, into a readable summary featuring memorable quotes that vividly illustrate very specific and actionable suggestions. The Institute of Museum & Library Services provided a $684,996 grant for the underlying research and in-kind contributions worth $405,076 came from Rutgers and OCLC .
Taken from a multiphase research project that included focus group interviews, online surveys, transcript analysis and phone interviews, with VR librarians, users and non-users, these findings are meant to help practitioners develop and sustain VR services and systems. The report asserts that the “R” in “ VR ” needs to emphasize virtual “Relationships” as well as “Reference.” Among the topics addressed are:
• How convenience is the “hook” that draws users into VR services
• The exaggerated death of ready reference
• The importance of query clarification in VR
• Ways to boost accuracy and build better interpersonal relationships in VR
• What can be learned from VR transcripts
• Generational differences in how people perceive reference interactions and determine success
• What can be learned from VR transcripts
• Generational differences in how people perceive reference interactions and determine success
• The need for more and better marketing of a suite of services – a “multi-asking” approach
The report’s two primary authors, Lynn Silipigni Connaway , Ph .D., OCLC Senior Research Scientist, and Marie L. Radford , Ph .D., Associate Professor, School of Communication & Information, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey , said that the goal of their work together, which began in 2005, has been to deliver research-based recommendations that improve the VR services provided by information professionals.
“The purpose of this new publication,” Connaway said, “is to showcase several years’ and several hundred pages’ worth of work with a few very specific, practical suggestions for sustaining and developing VR services and systems. This short report is designed to be a quick read that is informative in boiling down results from our multi-year research project involving two teams of researchers, at OCLC and Rutgers University.”
“It is organized into topical chapters that are illustrated with graphs and quotations that bring our findings to life,” added Radford . “We also provide an introduction that serves as an executive summary so that readers can quickly understand and apply our research findings and recommendations to immediately improve VR experiences for all users.”
