This study surveyed 99 users of a public library's blogs to understand how the blogs were being used. It found that while 40 users had directly accessed at least one blog, many more users were accessing blog content indirectly through the library's homepage or RSS/email feeds. Over 60% of blog users read multiple blogs. The study also revealed the importance of the library homepage in disseminating blog content, with 63% of respondents having read blog feeds on the homepage, even if they did not directly access the blogs. This "hidden" usage of blogs suggests they are an effective way to regularly update and feed content to the library homepage.

Poster: Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (plus some information about web archiving collaborations)
http://hrwa.cul.columbia.edu/
Web archiving encompasses several challenges that we face in the midst of the radical changes that are the focus of the ACRL-NY 2013 Symposium. Like many other interdisciplinary, wide-ranging and highly networked fields, human rights scholarship relies extensively on web-based information, but much of this content is at risk of disappearing within a relatively short time.
To meet the needs of the scholarly community, the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (HRWA) was created. The HRWA is a searchable collection of archived copies of human rights websites created by non-governmental organizations, national human rights institutions, tribunals and individuals.
In this poster we will detail our early progress in the assessment of the effectiveness of the HRWA through user testing and a review of scholarly publishing in journals focusing on human rights research. We will also discuss how keeping users actively engaged is at the core of our evolving collecting policy for web archives. In sharing our experiences with a collection development policy centered in an active and agile feedback loop, we hope to shed light on strengths and opportunities for growth including via collaborative initiatives.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and Sales
Evaluating Web 2.0
1. Evaluating Web 2.0: user experiences with public library blogs Michelle McLean - Casey-Cardinia Library Corporation Paul Mercieca – RMIT University
2. Aims While Libraries, especially public libraries, are heavily involved in develop of Web 2.0 environments, there is a need to understand how these environments are being used Focusing on Blogs as an initial pilot investigation, we attempt to map client use of blog posts developed by CCLC The results from this pilot can be extended to a larger investigation
9. Method 99 usable survey results were received 52 online and 47 in print All results were exported (via an Excel file) to SPSS Caveats Pilot survey to identify initial trends of blog use within a single public library organisation. A larger participant sample will determine if the trends are statistically significant Sample was self selected
13. Multiple blog use Each blog has a specific information focus and is targeted towards different readers An assumption was that blog readers would tend to focus on the blogs that are relevant to their information needs However counts of the use of the blogs suggest that: A total of 40 participants, out of the 99 survey responses (n=99) have used at least one blog on a single occasion Those who have engaged with a blog tend to read more than one blog. Of the 40 participants who have read at least one post, 24 participants (60% of the blog users n=40) have read more than one blog. In considering the promotion of public library blogs While use may be ‘casual’ There may be benefit in cross promotion of blogs
14. “Hidden” use ‘hidden usage’ of the blog posts was identified While some participants were not directly reading the blogs themselves, they were accessing ‘blog feeds’ Through email / RSS feeds Through posts being fed to the home page of the CCLC website
15. “Hidden” use ... Email / RSS feeds 26 participants (26% of the respondents n=99) indicated that they had set up either a post feed to their email account or to an RSS reader feeding to an email account was the preferred method as this was established by 21 of the 26 participants who had set up a feed Of the 26 participants, 6 participants indicated that they had not (“never”) used any of the blogs This suggests such participants had not actively visited the individual blogs, yet still benefited from the blogs as an information source to their email accounts.
18. “Hidden” use ... 63% of the respondents read the feeds that are displayed on the library home page, even if this was, for some participants, a ‘skim read’ of the content Degree of follow through to the actual blog 46% reading the extended version of the feed 38% reading the blog post on the original blog
19. Demographic impact The various frequencies of use of the blogs was recoded into ‘use’ and ‘non-use’ Chi-square tests were used to see if there was a difference in use by age and by gender Age and Gender did not make a significant difference in use for most of the blogs local history blog ‘Links to Our Past’ did show a difference for Gender, where males tended to use the blog site more than females
5 blogs4 in studyInvisible Ink started September 06Links to our past Nov 07Quicksand Mar 08Reading Rewards October 08Read like a demon June 09All fed to homepage
Respondents were asked to indicate their use of the CCLC website and the blogs frequency of use ranging from ‘daily’ use of the online services to ‘never’ used. participants tended to make use of the library webpage with 80% of the respondents having used the webpage at some time. Nearly half of the respondents (49.49%) used the website at least on a weekly basis (14.14% daily and 35.35% a few times a week).Website acts as a major ‘gateway’ to the library services.The individual blogs, however, did not reflect this level of use. se of the blogs ranged from 15% of respondents for “Read like a Demon” to 30.35% for “Reading Rewards”. usage could possibly have been described as being ‘casual’; that is, with a focus on either ‘a few times a month’ or ‘irregular’ use by the participants. comparisons of frequency of use by gender and age were conducted to determine if use was influenced by either of these variables. It could be expected, for instance, that age could act as a variable because of an assumption that younger users would engage more with blog type content. However, there was little statistical indication of such an impact.
The respondents were asked to rate a number of statements across a five point Likert scale (Strongly Agree / Agree / Neutral / Disagree / Strongly Disagree). The statements were based on perceived benefits that the library had for the development of the blogs. The blogs were seen by CCLC as being a promotional and information tool. Hence, the comments sought opinion on whether the participants viewed the blog as assisting in locating information about library and community events, and whether it help them to stay informed about the libraryRespondents were uncertain about the impact of the blog, thus the high level of responses that recorded a ‘neutral’ statement. However, the respondents that did record a response tended to be supportive of the blogs’ promotional aspects. The blogs support a process for maintaining awareness of the library service, with 57% agreeing to the statement (17% strongly agree and 40% agree). Promotion of library and community events is also seen as being a function of the blogs, with 51% (18% strongly agree and 33% agree) of the respondents supporting the statement. Forty-six percent (13% strongly agree and 33% agree) support the notion that the blogs assist in their engagement with the library collection. The blogs have also led to participants seeking material from the collection that has been promoted through blog posts. Thirty-seven percent (15% strongly agree and 22% agree) indicated that they had borrowed material that had been reviewed on the blogs, as confirmed by this comment from the survey:I access these blogs to help me help my kids to choose books to read and find out about activities in the library and the local community.
