"Gender Gaps, Information Technology, And Academic Libraries: A Feminist Evaluation, Kelly Barrick Hovendick Dec 1998

"Gender Gaps, Information Technology, And Academic Libraries: A Feminist Evaluation, Kelly Barrick Hovendick

Kelly M. Barrick


This thesis examines the relationship between gender gaps and the increased use of information technology (IT) in academic libraries from a feminist perspective.  Since the 1960s, more academic libraries have been utilizing IT in their quest to bring more and faster information to their users.  Though information technology has advantages, the increased presence of it brings disadvantages such as gender gaps as well.  Therefore, it is vital that the library profession examines the impacts both positive and negative of IT.
In order to effectively evaluate IT, gender gaps and academic libraries, it is necessary to examine related phenomena.  Therefore, research …

The User's Mental Model Of An Information Retrieval System: An Experiment On A Prototype Online Catalog, Christine L. Borgman Dec 1998

The User's Mental Model Of An Information Retrieval System: An Experiment On A Prototype Online Catalog, Christine L. Borgman

Christine L. Borgman

An empirical study was performed to train naive subjects in the use of a prototype Boolean logic-based information retrieval system on a bibliographic database. Subjects were undergraduates with little or no prior computing experience. Subjects trained with a conceptual model of the system performed better than subjects trained with procedural instructions, but only on complex, problem-solving tasks. Performance was equal on simple tasks. Differences in patterns of interaction with the system (based on a stochastic process model) showed parallel results. Most subjects were able to articulate some description of the system's operation, but few articulated a model similar to the …

Library Gateway: Project Design, Teams And Cycle Time, Karen S. Calhoun, Zsuzsa Koltay, Edward Weissman Dec 1998

Library Gateway: Project Design, Teams And Cycle Time, Karen S. Calhoun, Zsuzsa Koltay, Edward Weissman

Karen S Calhoun

Librarians at Cornell University Library (CUL) launched the first system-wide integrated gateway to networked resources, services, and library information in January 1998. Using a case study approach, this article examines the design and implementation process that helped the project succeed, rather than focusing on the technology or the vision behind the gateway. The authors identify and discuss critical success factors and the organizational learning experience that moved CUL a step closer to mastering the process of innovation.
