They are communicative support devices that encapsulate 6 essential qualities in effective research practice: doing research, writing a paper, getting it published, producing a visualization, verbally disseminating the results and engaging in the academic community. Accordingly, they are a form of output rewarded in research evaluations. But, even though posters are recognized in evaluation exercises, we believe they are still regarded as low rank, entry-level publications. Rather, it is the subsequent articles that are considered to carry the real “scientific” importance and thus highly ranked in evaluations. Yet posters have an important role to play, as they are one of the key ways early research is disseminated and how we interact with our academic community. Their effectiveness and utility therefore needs to be established for fair evaluation (Ilic & Rowe, 2013; Goodhand et al, 2011; Ro...

("Image" is here understood as a cultural, conventional, and commercial—stock photo—representation.) The lecture offers expert views that provide different interpretations of images and their potential implementations. Linguistic and semiotic methodologies as well as eye-tracking research are employed to both analyze images and comprehend how humans consider them, including which salient features generally attract viewers' attention. This literature review covers image—specifically photographic—research since 2005, when major social media platforms emerged. A citation analysis includes an overview of co-citation maps that demonstrate the nexus of image research literature and the journals in which they appear. Eye tracking tests whether scholarly templates focus on the proper features of an image, such as people, objects, time, etc., and if a prescribed ...

Alligevel er der en voksende interesse i e-bøger, ikke mindst i forsknings- og folkebibliotekerne. Denne artikel giver en oversigt over tre skandinaviske biblioteks- og informationsvidenskabelige skoler og deres forskning og undervisning i e-bøger. De respektive institutioner præsenterer deres aktuelle forskningsinteresser og -perspektiver på e-bøger og digital læsning, og hvorledes e-bøger er integreret i curriculum og uddannelser. Artiklen ender med at fremhæve fire områder, som artiklens forfattere mener, kalder på yderligere forskning inden for bibliotek- og informationsvidenskab:• Deep reading og læseoplevelser på digitale læseenheder • Den fysiske bogkulturs betydning for læsere • Aftalegrundlaget for udlån af e-bøger og ophavsret i biblioteker • E-bogens integration med andre teknologier

Artiklen beskriver et casestudie hvor WFP’s information- og vidensstyring undersøges herunder analyse af brugernes (WFP’s medarbejderes og -frivilliges) søgninger og WFP’s informationsarkitektur generelt. I artiklen præsenteres en række metoder til at identificere problemerne i organisationen. Resultaterne viser, at udviklingen og implementeringen af en fælles taksonomi kan minimere ulemperne ved navigation og søgning efter information og dokumenter vha. de etablerede søgemaskiner. Konklusionen er, at der dels skal udvikles en emneordsliste, der sikrer en ensartet terminologi i hovedkvarteret og på samtlige landekontorer, og dels at der skal udvikles et system af synonymringe, der gør informationssøgning langt mere effektiv. For at sikre den fremtidige effekt af disse tiltag anbefales det, at der udnævnes en person med centralt ansvar samt en række lokale eksperter, taksonomi champions, til fortsat...

We explore this possibility for the retrieval of news broadcasts in Danish.

Yet the acquisition of relevant literature is proving increasingly challenging due to the large volume of information that needs to be searched, filtered and collocated. There is a need to improve the efficiency of biomedical literature searches. PubMed remains the primary resource for biomedical literature, and as PubMed makes the MEDLINE data and Entrez PubMed Programming utilities freely available, any developer can produce alternative tools to search the database. We question if PubMed still provides the superior search interface for systematic searches or if the innovativeness of third party tools provide alternatives worth considering. Design/methodology Seventy-six third party tools that build on PubMed content were identified in a PubMed search and in published studies known to the authors. Only tools that provided free access to the broad PubMed content and designed specifically to enhance the search were included, reducing the set to 16 tools. The functionality of each tool within the scenario of a systematic search was compared across 11 aspects. A systematic search in PubMed was used as study control. Findings The 16 tools limited rather than advanced the sorting, filtering and export functionality required in a systematic search. The reproducibility of the searches in these sources was reduced. Our study shows that PubMed remains the superior provider for searching, identifying, and exporting biomedical literature for systematic reviews. Originality/Value Our work contributes to the discussion of how librarians can help researchers navigate the bio-medical literature in systematic reviews.

Radio broadcasts are an important and vibrant part of our cultural heritage, but providing efficient and effective access to such archives is challenging for lack of a solid digital infrastructure. The Danish LARM project aims to meet this challenge by making one million hours of radio programs available to humanities researchers through the digital platform CHAOS. CHAOS is being built in close cooperation with the researchers involved in LARM. In this paper, we present the user-driven development of the multi-tiered metadata scheme used in CHAOS.

First we asked ten people to enact the gaze movements they would propose for e.g. opening a door or adjusting the room temperature. On basis of their suggestions we built and tested different versions of a prototype applying off-screen stroke input. Command prompts were given to twenty participants by text or arrow displays. The success rate achieved by the end of their first encounter with the system was 46% in average; it took them 1.28 seconds to connect with the system and 1.29 seconds to make a correct selection. Their subjective evaluations were positive with regard to the speed of the interaction. We conclude that gaze gesture input seems feasible for fast and brief remote control of smart home technology provided that robustness of tracking is improved.

Design/methodology/approach – The study implies the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. This includes desk review of key documents and interviews with information architecture staff from various WFP units; data collection carried out as semi-structured staff interviews in WFP; log analyses of search log-files from WFP intranet portal (WFPgo) from September to November 2013, the results were applied and a suggested taxonomy tested at workshops conducted for the staff in headquarters. Findings – The results reveal an organization with a high demand for easier access to information and knowledge, greater internal collaborations and stronger links with various sources of kn...

We examined the gaze tracking accuracy and precision of twelve subjects wearing a gaze tracker on their wrist while standing and walking. Results suggest that it will be possible to detect whether people are glancing the watch, but not where on the screen they are looking. To counter the motor noise we present a word-byword textual UI that shows temporary command options to be executed by gaze-strokes. Twentyseven participants conducted a simulated smartwatch task and were able to reliably perform commands that would adjust the speed of word presentation or make regressions. We discuss future design and usage options for a textual smartwatch gaze interface.

Often access to digitized audiovisual collections is hampered by little and inconsistent metadata. This paper presents the preliminary findings from a study of the search log in a radio broadcast archive. Firstly, results in relation to the identified types of search terms show that the Programme listing category was the most frequently identified category followed by categories of Person and Subject. Secondly, users rarely apply advanced search operators but instead apply phrase or single word queries.

The course is organized by the cataloguing and classification department and is presented to final‐year students; it is based on the use of already known theories in classification and cataloguing for structuring multimedia applications. An important part of the course is the creation of a multimedia workstation allowing students to work with the hardware and software required.
