There could be various approaches to increase the quality of VRS. In this study, we focused on two key factors; improving helpfulness and reducing user's feeling of intrusiveness. Studies indicated that librarian-initiated attempts for help may increase user's feeling of intrusiveness [2] [3]. It is challenging to provide high helpfulness along with less intrusiveness in VRS. This study aimed to identify factors that contribute to improving helpfulness and reducing intrusiveness. Data were collected based on a survey using systemic random sample approach. Our initial results indicated that awareness, timing, and transparency were key factors affecting the helpfulness and intrusiveness.","PeriodicalId":92278,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

It is beginning to emerge as fundamental to the study of languages. Morphosyntactic annotation captures the form of individual words and their function. Nonetheless automated syntactic analysis is still imperfect and human annotators can be significantly more accurate. On the other hand, human work is expensive and even humans find some constructions difficult to annotate correctly. Comparing the performance of human annotators with that of an automatic parser is thus important for exploring how the two methods can best be combined. In the present study, we compare the frequency of the different types of errors made by student annotators with those made by different dependency parsers when annotating ancient Greek. With a few exceptions, the frequency of the different types of errors was similar for human and machine. The significance of these results is briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":92278,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ... ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries.

This paper reports on a study exploring the behaviour of groups of patrons in physical libraries, detailing their collaboration and communication during book searches. We aim to identify how characteristics such as location, time, environment, ambiance, layout and personal motivation play a role in a group's search and browsing behaviour. We report the findings of observations of group collaboration in academic and public libraries, and compare the observed book and library use techniques employed by patron groups. Further, we examine the support for group collaboration in digital libraries and discuss the implications of our observations for the design of digital libraries that support group collaboration and interaction among users. To that end, the paper suggests features and functions that could be added to DLs to enable asynchronous group communication and interaction.","PeriodicalId":92278,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

The background literature is reviewed in supporting our claim that metadata collected from SDRs offer a complimentary data source to traditional publication metadata collected from digital libraries. Methodological considerations are discussed in association with using metadata from SDRs, including author name disambiguation and data parsing. Initial findings show that the network has some unique macro-level structural features while also in agreement with existing networks theories. Challenges due to inconsistent metadata quality control procedures are also discussed in an attempt to reinforce claims that metadata should be designed to support both domain specific retrieval and evaluation and assessment needs.","PeriodicalId":92278,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Through both digitization and acquisition, it has built up significant collections of digital content covering a very wide range of content types. Most recently, the extension of legal deposit provisions to non-print works in 2013 has meant that it - working in conjunction with the other UK legal deposit libraries - has begun to collect new categories of digital content, including periodic harvests of the UK Web domain. In order to support this, the Library has also invested heavily in developing scalable infrastructures for the acquisition, storage and management of large amounts of digital content. The British Library Digital Preservation Strategy, 2013-2016 is focused on the embedding of digital sustainability as an organizational principle across the Library and to help manage preservation risks and challenges across all digital collection content lifecycles. This practice paper describes work being undertaken by the Digital Preservation Team at the British Library to develop content profiles of high-level digital collections that will support the implementation of the strategy, in particular for the capture of long-term preservation requirements.","PeriodicalId":92278,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Here, we aid such crucial task by introducing two new metrics (C-Endo and Comb) that rely on the concept of endogamy for communities of authors who publish in conferences and journals, and produce patents. Endogamy here measures how tightly structured the groups of authors are within a community. We validate and evaluate the metrics by using real datasets, two ground-truth rankings and citation count. We also perform random sampling analysis to account for any unbalance from the ground-truth rankings. Overall, such a thorough evaluation shows that our metrics are successful in defining community-based endogamy as an influence indicator.","PeriodicalId":92278,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

The network can represent similarity between item metadata, item co-occurrences in search logs, and the similarity of items based on linking them to Wikipedia articles and categories. To evaluate the use of PPR, search logs from Europeana are used to simulate user interactions. PPR on each information source is compared to a standard retrieval-based baseline, resulting in higher performance.","PeriodicalId":92278,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...
