Prof. Greifeneder erforscht, wie Nutzer mit digitalen Informationssystemen und Kulturbeständen umgehen — von Handschriftenportalen bis zu Bibliotheken. Aktuell entwickelt sie Methoden zur Usability-Evaluierung und nutzergerechten Gestaltung von Portalen für Handschriften, Blockdrucke und Fachinformationen; parallel untersucht sie Informationsverhalten in Gesundheitsdesinformation und bei Kindern in Bibliotheken durch qualitative Interviews und Feldforschung. Ihre Erkenntnisse helfen Gedächtnisinstitutionen, Museen und Informationsdienstleistern, ihre digitalen Angebote benutzerfreundlicher und inklusiver zu gestalten und dabei auch marginalisierte Nutzergruppen zu berücksichtigen.

• Keeping up to date: An academic researcher's information journey

  2015

  Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology · DOI

  Keeping up to date with research developments is a central activity of academic researchers, but researchers face difficulties in managing the rapid growth of available scientific information. This study examined how researchers stay up to date, using the information journey model as a framework for analysis and investigating which dimensions influence information behaviors. We designed a 2‐round study involving semistructured interviews and prototype testing with 61 researchers with 3 levels of seniority ( PhD student to professor). Data were analyzed following a semistructured qualitative approach. Five key dimensions that influence information behaviors were identified: level of seniority, information sources, state of the project, level of familiarity, and how well defined the relevant community is. These dimensions are interrelated and their values determine the flow of the information journey. Across all levels of professional expertise, researchers used similar hard (formal) sources to access content, while soft (interpersonal) sources were used to filter information. An important “pain point” that future information tools should address is helping researchers filter information at the point of need.

• Defining a digital library

  2007

  Library Hi Tech · DOI

  Purpose This editorial seeks to examine the definition of a “digital library” to see whether one can be constructed that usefully distinguishes a digital library from other types of electronic resources. Design/methodology/approach The primary methodology compares definitions from multiple settings, including formal institutional settings, working definitions from articles, and a synthesis created in a seminar at Humboldt University in Berlin. Findings At this point, digital libraries are evolving too fast for any lasting definition. Definitions that users readily understand are too broad and imprecise, and definitions with more technical precision quickly grow too obscure for common use. Originality/value A functional definition of a digital library would add clarity to a burgeoning field, especially when trying to evaluate a resource. The student perspective provides a fresh look at the problem.
