Conversation In Information Seeking Contexts: A Test Of An Analytical Framework, Paul Solomon
Conversation In Information Seeking Contexts: A Test Of An Analytical Framework, Paul Solomon
Paul Solomon
This article develops an analytical framework to support the analysis of conversations in information-seeking contexts. The framework brings together linguistic and sociolinguistic issues such as vocabulary, cohesion, coherence, turn taking, turn allocation, overlaps, gaps, openings, closings, frames, repairs, role specification, and stylistic features. These issues serve as viewpoints for exploring how information-seeking conversations differ from casual conversation and conversations in restricted conversational domains (e.g., teacher-student, and physician-patient). A sample of nine conversations from two information-seeking contexts (i.e., school library media center, and public library) is used to test the utility of the analytical framework and explore possible characteristics of information-seeking …

Political Obstacles To Change In Criminal Justice Agencies: An Interorganizational Perspective, Paul Solomon, J Gardiner
Paul Solomon
This monograph presents the process of criminal justice change with emphasis on the interaction between operating agency heads and officials and groups attempting to act as agents of change. This publication is one of a series of nine monographs extracted from the Proceedings of the Fourth National Symposium on Law Enforcement Science and Technology held May 1-3, 1972 in Washington, DC. The collection of papers includes discussions of efforts of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration to introduce systematic change into the criminal justice system by means of the pilot and impact cities programs. The development, goals, and problems encountered in …

Information And Library Science Mpact: A Preliminary Analysis, Gary Marchionin, Paul Solomon, Cheryl Davis, Terrell Russell

Dissertation advising is an important form of mentoring. To investigate the impact of dissertation advising over time, advisor and committee member names were collected for 2400 dissertations completed over a 40-year period (1964–2004) in 32 North American information and library science schools. Several mentoring impact metrics are reported for a subset of the data, including the number of dissertations advised, the number of dissertation committees served on, the ratio of advising to committee membership, and the fractional “mpact” that weights advising and committee membership. The subset consists of data for six schools that produced at least three dozen dissertations and …

Collaboration In The Large:Using Video Conferencing To Facilitate Large Group Interaction, D Sonnenwald, Paul Solomon, N Hara, R Bolliger, T Cox
Collaboration In The Large:Using Video Conferencing To Facilitate Large Group Interaction, D Sonnenwald, Paul Solomon, N Hara, R Bolliger, T Cox
Paul Solomon
This chapter discusses the social, organizational and technical challenges and solutions that emerged when facilitating collaboration through videoconferencing for a large, geographically dispersed research and development (R&D) organization. Collaboration is an integral component of many R&D organizations. Awareness of activities and potential contributions of others is fundamental to initiating and maintaining collaboration, yet this awareness is often difficult to sustain, especially when the organization is geographically dispersed. To address these challenges, we applied an action research approach, working with members of a large, geographically distributed R&D center to implement videoconferencing to facilitate collaboration and large group interaction within the center. …

Paul Solomon
The objectives of this three-phased study were to design and evaluate the usability of a computerized questionnaire, The Children's Computerized Physical Activity Reporter, designed with and for middle school children's self-report of physical activity. Study design was qualitative, descriptive, and collaborative, framed in a usability engineering model, with 22 participating children (grades 6-8; mean age, 12.5 years; range, 11-15 years) of three ethnic backgrounds. In Phase 1, children's understanding of physical activity and needs for reporting were determined, which were then translated in Phase 2 to the design features and content of the questionnaire; content validity, readability, and algorithm reliability …

Toward An Understanding Of The Dynamics Of Relevance Judgment: An Analysis Of One Person's Search Behavior, Rong Tang, Paul Solomon
Toward An Understanding Of The Dynamics Of Relevance Judgment: An Analysis Of One Person's Search Behavior, Rong Tang, Paul Solomon
Paul Solomon
Research on relevance has established a conceptual consensus that stresses the importance of studying relevance judgments from a perspective that takes the users of retrieval systems into account. Yet little research has investigated how actual system users make relevance judgments. Theoretical claims pertaining to the nature of the relevance judgment process, thus, remain untested. This study is a step in the empirical exploration of the evolutionary nature of relevance judgments. The study intensively focuses on a single person with a real information problem. She was observed during both her online searching and document retrieval. The subject made her relevance evaluations …
