Researcher experience –
discovery
• Search begins with
mainstream web
• Advanced users shift to
specialty databases
• Library discovery is for
“known items”
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Melbourne
Mike Bostok, “Sanky Diagrams from Excel,” accessed on February 9, 2013: http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/excelquirks/d3/sankey.
Researcher experience – workflow
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Melbourne
• Query trends
• Higher use of open-web search than reported
• Validating authenticity
• Browser trends
• Retrieval trends
• 100% manually managed citations
• Low use of hyperlinked references
• Few ‘version of record’ checks
Researcher experience – workflow
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Melbourne
Scholarly apps & tools
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Melbourne
Personal digital libraries
• Managing citations
• Organizing documents
• Storing documents
• Search
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Melbourne
Beyond search
• Email alerts
• Following citations
• Human recommendations
• Machine recommendations / relatedness
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Melbourne
Recommendations as discovery
 90% faculty
 78% students
Online recommendations are about as
useful than those I receive from peers
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Melbourne
Why does serendipity matter?
• Students and researchers re-frame their information need as
they go
• Some useful information discoveries are unintentional
• People like serendipity: it delights users
Designing for serendipity may be the holy grail
of the search experience.

Information Architecture of Discovery. Waltham, MA: Morgan Kaufmann.
