  • JCDL - Designing a Digital Library for young children
    Proceedings of the first ACM IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital libraries - JCDL '01, 2020
    Co-Authors: Allison Druin, Juan Pablo Hourcade, Lisa Sherman, Benjamin B Bederson, Glenda Revelle, Michele Platner, Stacy Weng
    Abstract:

    As more information resources become accessible using computers,our Digital Interfaces to those resources need to be appropriate for all people. However when it comes to Digital libraries, the Interfaces have typically been designed for older children or adults. Therefore, we have begun to develop a Digital Library Interface developmentally appropriate for young children (ages 5-10 years old). Our prototype system we now call SearchKids offers a graphical Interface for querying, browsing and reviewing search results. This paper describes our motivation for the research, the design partnership we established between children and adults, our design process, the technology outcomes of our current work, and the lessons we have learned.

  • A collaborative Digital Library for children
    Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2003
    Co-Authors: Allison Druin, Juan Pablo Hourcade, Benjamin B Bederson, Glenda Revelle, Allison Farber, Dana Campbell
    Abstract:

    Over the last three years, a Digital Library Interface has been developed where two children can collaborate using multiple mice on a single computer to access multimedia information concerning animals. This technology, SearchKids, supports past work in copresent collaborative zoomable Interfaces for young children. This paper describes the differences in children's collaborative behaviour and dialogue when using two different software conditions to search for animals in the Digital Library. In this study, half the children had to 'confirm' their collaborative activities (e.g. both children had to click on a given area to move to that area). The other half used an 'independent' collaboration technique (e.g. just one mouse click allowed the pair to move to that area). The participants in this study were 98 second and third grade children (ages 7-9 year-old) from a suburban public elementary school in Prince George's County, Maryland. The results of the study show distinct differences between conditions in how children discussed their shared goals, collaborative tasks, and what outcomes they had in successfully finding multimedia information in the Digital Library.

  • A Collaborative Digital Library for Children: A Descriptive Study of Children's Collaborative Behavior and Dialogue
    2003
    Co-Authors: Allison Druin, Juan Pablo Hourcade, Benjamin B Bederson, Glenda Revelle, Allison Farber, Dana Campbell
    Abstract:

    Over the last three years, we have been developing a collaborative Digital Library Interface where two children can collaborate using multiple mice on a single computer to access multimedia information concerning animals. This technology, called “SearchKids” leverages our lab’s past work in co-present collaborative zoomable Interfaces for young children. This paper describes the differences in children’s collaborative behavior and dialogue when using two different software conditions to search for animals in the Digital Library. In this study, half the children had to “confirm” their collaborative activities (e.g., both children had to click on a given area to move to that area). The other half used an “independent” collaboration technique (e.g., just one mouse click allows the pair to move to that area). The participants in this study were 98 second and third grade children (ages 7-9 years old) from a suburban public elementary school in Prince George's County, Maryland. The children were randomly divided into two groups and paired with a classmate of the same gender. Each pair was asked to find as many items as possible from a list of 20 items given a limit of 20 minutes. Sessions were video taped and the first and last five minutes of each session were coded for discussion type and frequency. The results of our study showed distinct differences between groups in how children discussed their shared goals, collaborative tasks, and what outcomes they had in successfully finding multimedia information in the Digital Library. These findings suggest various ways educators might use and technologists might develop new collaborative technologies for learning.

  • Editorial for the Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval Workshop at ECIR 2014
    arXiv: Information Retrieval, 2014
    Co-Authors: Philipp Mayr, Andrea Scharnhorst, Philipp Schaer, Peter Mutschke
    Abstract:

    This first "Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval" (BIR 2014) workshop aims to engage with the IR community about possible links to bibliometrics and scholarly communication. Bibliometric techniques are not yet widely used to enhance retrieval processes in Digital libraries, although they offer value-added effects for users. In this workshop we will explore how statistical modelling of scholarship, such as Bradfordizing or network analysis of co-authorship network, can improve retrieval services for specific communities, as well as for large, cross-domain collections. This workshop aims to raise awareness of the missing link between information retrieval (IR) and bibliometrics / scientometrics and to create a common ground for the incorporation of bibliometric-enhanced services into retrieval at the Digital Library Interface. Our interests include information retrieval, information seeking, science modelling, network analysis, and Digital libraries. The goal is to apply insights from bibliometrics, scientometrics, and informetrics to concrete practical problems of information retrieval and browsing.

  • International Conference on Internet Computing (1) - E-learning or re-learning: Assessing a web Digital Library Interface
    2020
    Co-Authors: Phelim Keane, John G Keating
    Abstract:

    The role of the Internet has expanded to playing host to on-line learning. People have now the opportunity to learn, and access Digital libraries from the comfort of their homes or from an Internet Cafe. This paper argues that these education-based sites are only as good as the Interface that imparts the information. A poor Digital Library or e-learning Interface is equivalent to presenting a student with a textbook, minus the contents and index sections, with all the pages randomly sorted while relying on dubious titles to find the required information. This is tantamount to a soul destroying experience for any potential student who has put some time aside to improve their education. This paper addresses the usability problems of the Digital Library at Maynooth National University of Ireland. This Library employs a '4505/ALEPH/' database system.
