DATA COLLECTION TOOLS AND
METHODS
Qualitative Research Definition
A type of scientific research that:
• Seeks answers to a question
• Systematically uses predefined set of
procedures to answer question
• Collects evidence
• Produces findings that:
• Are not determined in advance
• Apply beyond immediate boundaries of
study
What is Qualitative Research?
“…a situated activity that locates the observer in the world. It consists of a
set of interpretive, material practices that make the world visible. These
practices transform the world. They turn the world into a series of
representations, including field notes, interviews, conversations,
photographs, recordings, & memos to the self.
At this level, qualitative research involves an interpretive, naturalistic
approach to the world. This means that qualitative researchers study
things in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of, or to
interpret, phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them.”
(Denzin and Lincoln 2005)
Quantitative Research Definition
Quantitative research methods
“use measurements and statistics
to transform empirical data into
numbers and to develop
mathematical models that
quantify behavior.”
(Tracy, 2013)
What is Quantitative Research?
• Based on the scientific method of inquiry
• Theory
• Problem
• Hypothesis
• Measurement
• Validity, reliability, and level
• Includes survey research and experimental research
• Utilizes statistical analysis methods
Mixed Methods Research
• Any combination of research
methods
• Qualitative
• Quantitative
• Participatory
• Action
• Design
• Equal attention to all stages of
research process
• Findings should be iterative &
informative (Kazmer 2017, 232-233)
Triangulation
• Term coined by Webb et al. (1966)
• Multiple methods of data collection
(e.g., interviews – individual & group,
observation, literature, archives)
• Agree, or at least don’t contradict
(Miles and Huberman 1994, 266)
• Multiple investigators
• Multiple contexts/situations
Mixed Methods
“Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña also
pointed out that although designing
and conducting a mixed method
research project involves careful
planning and more effort in execution,
the benefits greatly outweigh the
difficulties (including philosophical
ones).”
(Connaway and Radford 2017, 229)
4 Project Phases
• Semi-structured interviews
• Diaries/monthly semi-
structured interviews
• Written
• Video
• Skype or telephone
• Second group of semi-
structured interviews
• Online survey
V&R Data Collection Tools
Semi-structured Interviews
• Incredibly detailed data
• Time consuming
– Establishing rapport
– Selecting research participants
– Transcribing observations &
conversations
Conducting the Interview
1. Thematizing: Clarifying the interview’s purpose
2. Designing: Defining the interview’s purpose
3. Interviewing: Conducting the interview
4. Transcribing: Creating a written verbatim text of the interview
5. Analyzing: Figuring out the meaning of data
6. Verifying: Determining the reliability & validity of the data
7. Reporting: Telling others about the findings
(Connaway and Radford 2017, 244)

Visitors and Residents Interview Demographics (n=164)
V&R Semi-Structured Interview Questions
5. Have there been times when you were told to
use a library or virtual learning environment
(or learning platform), and used other
source(s) instead?
6. If you had a magic wand, what would your
ideal way of getting information be? How
would you go about using the systems and
services? When? Where? How?
Diaries
• Keep directions minimal and open
• Offer participants a variety of ways to report
• Written
• Photo
• Video
• Audio
• Data can be rich and detailed, but is self-reported
• Does not require researcher presence
(Connaway and Radford, 2017)
V&R Diaries
• 22 Diarists (10 UK/12 US):
• 66 diaries collected
• 53 follow-up diarist interviews
conducted
• Conducted and collected from April
2011 through October 2013
(White and Connaway 2011-2014)
V&R Diary Template
1. Explain a time in the past month when you
were SUCCESSFUL in completing an
ACADEMIC assignment. What steps did you
take?
2. Think of a time fairly recently when you
struggled to find appropriate resources to
help you complete an ACADEMIC assignment.
What happened?
Example: Digital Visitors and Residents Diaries
Online Surveys • Use a database, programming code, &
interface to distribute surveys and collect
responses
• Drawbacks
• Lower response rates than paper
• Concerns over privacy and
confidentiality
• Can be spammed
• Difficult to get a random sample
• May underrepresent those without
computers
Online Surveys vs Interviews
• Response rate can be improved with
email follow ups
• Quicker responses
• May be less expensive
• Numerous existing tools to administer
the survey and host data
• Decrease manual entry for researcher
• Can be easier to analyze
V&R Online Surveys
• In-depth online survey
• 150 participants from the US & UK
• 42 Emerging
• 42 Establishing
• 42 Embedding
• 24 Experiencing
Mapping
Visitors and Residents Sample Maps
Why Mapping Exercise?
• Learn about how we engage
– Personally
– Professionally
– Individually
– Collectively
• Identify and better understand our identity and dynamics
• Better understand users to better understand their workflows and engagement
– Modify and change library offerings, modes of interaction, and
communication
• It is fun and interesting
• Data and Discovery

Usability Testing
• Degree to which a user can successfully learn
& use a product to achieve a goal
• Evaluation research methodology
• Observation & analysis of user behavior while
users use a product or product prototype to
achieve a goal
(Dumas and Redish 1993, 22)
Usability Testing: Components
Comprised of three parts:
1. Pre-session interview
2. Scenario and task
structured test
3. Post-session survey
(Tang 2017, 278)
Usability Testing: Methodology
• Artificial environment
(laboratory)
• Maintain more control
• May provide more
specific data on a
particular feature
• Natural environment
• Better holistic
representation of real
people doing real work
(Tang 2017, 278)
V&R Mapping App Usability Testing
TASK
• Think of around 10 websites you use or online activities that you
regularly perform. Place each of these websites or activities on
the map in a way that represents how you feel you use them (as
a 'Visitor' or as a 'Resident') and the typical context in which you
use them ('Personal' or 'Institutional’).
PROCEDURE
1. Read the task aloud
2. Using the app, complete the task while thinking aloud
3. Indicate when they felt they had completed the task
V&R Mapping App
• Usability tested, user approved
• YouTube and comic book instructions
• Create and share on social
media

DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS AND
METHODS
Ethnographic Analysis
• Use people’s own categories
• Avoid assuming what one will find
• Complementary to quantitative methods
• Retain ‘richness’/‘thick description’
• Numerical compatibility
(Asher 2017, 264)
(Connaway and Radford 2017, 282)
• Contain all data sources
• Create and apply codes
• Enable running queries
• Develop visualizations
• Deliver reports
(Connaway and Radford 2017)
Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis
Software (CAQDAS)
• Draw on data...in service of
developing new conceptual
categories
• Develop inductive abstract analytic
categories through systematic data
analysis
• Emphasize theory construction
rather than description or
application of current theories
(Connaway and Radford 2017)
Grounded Theory
“A major strategy for analysis of
qualitative data is the use of the
constant comparative method, which
embraces ‘constant comparisons’
defined as ‘the analytic process of
comparing different pieces of data
against each other for similarities
and differences.’”
(Connaway and Radford 2017, 298)

Coding
Analyzing the gathered data involves coding the
responses (or placing each item in the appropriate
category), tabulating the data, and statistical
computations.
Categories for coding generally evolve from the data,
there are some common areas such as setting,
situation, perspective, process, activity, event,
relationship, role, practice, etc.

Place (I)
Internet (I.A) Online, unspecified “I will go online for the subject because I know the what's
online will be of better quality and more relevant to the
specification than what's in the book” (2UKU2).
Search Engine
(I.A.1)
Unspecified or unlisted
search engine (i.e., Bing)
“Or I’ll go back to the search engine and start again and
look at all the other options that I’m able to look at”
(UKS4).
Google (I.A.1.a) “I would start by Googling definitely” (2UKS2).
Social Media
(I.A.2)
Unspecified or unlisted
social media (i.e.,
LinkedIn)
“Well, I like social media, but I don't know if anything
would change anything about my academics … um, the
only thing that I can think of that I'll probably ever be able
to think of, is the detrimental effect it has on my
academics because it distracts me” (USG2).
Facebook (I.A.2.a) “When I'm doing homework or coursework or something,
I'll always have Facebook and Twitter open, for example,
as well” (2UKS2).
Twitter (I.A.2.b) “Twitter, I don't use it educationally at all” (2UKS2).
Library (I.B) Unspecified library “I think first of all I would search on Google Scholar to see
whether there is an e-version. Because I’m pretty
comfortable reading online. And if there is not, then I will
go to the library. Yes. When I have to” (UKG1).
Academic (I.B.1) “The majority of the journal articles that we would read
are online although frequently books are still not
converted into e-books yet, so they’re frequently found in
the education library” (UKG2).

V&R FINDINGS
“Humans are a valued source of
information.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
“En temes de salut o així no solo acudir a Internet per res perquè
...poses que et fa mal un dit i acabes tenint pesta bubònica...no es
fiable, a internet...lo probablement improbable és lo segur. Aquí si
que acudiria a contactes reals.”
(UOCG3, Male, Age 28, Computer Science)
“Regarding health affairs, I usually don’t search on the internet
because… you have pain in one finger and then you end up
[thinking] you have the bubonic plague… It is not reliable…
improbable things become sure. For this situation, I would use
personal contacts.”
The future…
“Una persona sàvia. M’agraden els
llibres i la tecnologia, però les
persones són millors.”
“A wise person. I like books and
technology, but people are better.”
(UOCU1, Female, 19-25, Professions and Applied Sciences)
The magic future would be…
“Wikipedia is used by individuals in
all educational stages to familiarize
themselves with a subject or topic.”
(Connaway et al., 2017)
“It’s like a taboo I guess with all
teachers, they just all say – you
know, when they explain the paper
they always say, ‘Don’t use
Wikipedia.’”
(Digital Visitors and Residents, USU7, Female, Age 19, Political Science)
The Learning Black Market
“Wikipedia… it’s perfect, because it gives you the
words, the things, the technical words that you need
to look, keywords, so Wikipedia is always, always the
first step.”
(UOCG1, Male, Age 35-44, Professions and Applied Sciences)
“I used to seek information in Wikipedia, even my colleagues
said that there are wrong things on it…but I said Enciclopedia
Larousse [Traditional encyclopedia] also have mistakes…the
only difference is that it is printed and is impossible to correct
the mistakes once you have the printed version…Mistakes are
not about technology, are about people.”
(Digital Visitors and Residents, UOCFE6, Male, Age 53, Computer Science)
“Convenience is a priority when
making decisions about what tools
and sources to use.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
“At first I started looking
online, and it was a little
bit overwhelming…I ended
up reaching into my
mom’s cupboard and
using a recipe that I found
in one of her old
cookbooks. The recipe
was just what I was
looking for...”
(Digital Visitors and Residents, USS3,
Emerging, Female, Age 17, High
School Student)
“Convenient” Isn’t Always Simple
Satisficing…What is enough information?
“…I needed the answer, my
maths, I was doing an exercise,
I got stuck on a question, I still
had the rest of the exercise to
go and I had like an hour to do
it and I just wanted the formula
and the quickest way to do it
was to type it into Google and it
came up.”
(Digital Visitors and Residents, UKS2,
Female, Age 17, Secondary School Student)
“Participants report extensive use
of search engines, especially
Google, and take them for granted.”
(Connaway et al., 2017)
Centrality of Google & search engines
“…I just think it’s [VLE web site] too
complicated and it’s limited, that I just
carried on going on Google.”
(Digital Visitors and Residents, UKS6, Emerging, Female, Age 16, Secondary
School Student)
“Library sources are used but
not recognized or attributed to
the library.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
“The students are completely unaware of the resources
that the university has in repositories, databases, etc. on
their subjects. Most of the interviewees do not know the
possibility of consulting books in full text, being able to
develop bibliographies or access remotely the funds using
virtual contexts of the campus of its university.
(V&R Project Team Member, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid)
“Perhaps one of the more interesting actions
could be to promote the library services to
students and how to use them. Now, the
library resources are embedded in the virtual
classroom and the students are not aware of
this, but in contrast, they don’t explore the
full potential of academic library.”
(Eva Ortoll Espinet, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)
“People lack patience to wade
through content silos…”
(Connaway 2015, 134)
“Yes, it [Matrix film plug-in to brain] - sort of
makes information gathering effortless and
without having to sort of manually go through and
separate the chaff from the wheat.”
(Digital Visitors and Residents, UKU10, Male, Age 20, Law)
RECOMMENDATIONS
Convenience
• Offer a variety of services to meet needs
in different contexts and situations
• Become mobile-friendly or mobile-first
Workflows
• Study and understand
users’ workflows
• Place library resources
within those workflows
Discovery and Access
• Improve library systems for browsing
• Use metadata to:
• Develop visualizations of collections
• Provide information in ways users
are familiar with
• Encourage critical literacy skills
Marketing
“Librarians need to market
and promote tools and
sources, especially one of
the library’s most valuable
sources, librarians.”
(Connaway et al. 2017)
Relationship Building
“People connect with
other people to get their
information and they
often turn to those who
they know and trust.”
(Connaway et al. 2017)
The Academic Future
Study the habits and
practices of K-12
students to better
understand our
future users’ needs
“The creative process is not like a situation
where you get struck by a single lightning
bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and
there are ongoing creative revelations. Yes,
it's really helpful to be marching toward a
specific destination, but, along the way, you
must allow yourself room for your ideas to
blossom, take root, and grow.”

Studying information behavior: The Many Faces of Digital Visitors and Residents

  • 1. Bar-Ilan University • 11 March 2018 Studying Information Behavior: The Many Faces of Digital Visitors and Residents Lynn Silipigni Connaway, PhD Senior Research Scientist & Director of User Research, OCLC connawal@oclc.org @LynnConnaway
  • 2. About Digital Visitors and Residents • Identify how individuals engage with technology • How they acquire their information • Why they make their choices (White, Connaway, Lanclos, Hood, and Vass 2014)
  • 3. Connaway, Lynn Silipigni, Vanessa Kitzie, Erin M. Hood and William Harvey. 2017. The Many Faces of Digital Visitors & Residents: Facets of Online Engagement. With contributions from Allison Benedetti, Agustí Canals, Liliana Gregori, Eva Ortoll Espinet, Daniel Lozano, Melissa Man, Josep Cobarsí Morales, Sara Giuliana Ricetto, Riccardo Melgrati, Eva M. Méndez Rodríguez, Andrea Sada, Peter Sidorko, Paolo Sirito, Virginia Steel, Titia van der Werf, and Esther Woo.

  • 4. V&R Framework (White and Le Cornu 2011) #vandr Visitors and Residents resources http://goo.gl/vxUMRD
  • 5. Visitor Mode • Functional use of technology • Formal need • Invisible online presence • Internet is a toolbox (White and Connaway 2011-2014)
  • 6. Resident Mode • Visible and persistent online presence • Collaborative activity online • Contribute online • Internet is a place (White and Connaway 2011-2014)
  • 8. Engaging individuals in context #vandr Visitors and Residents resources http://goo.gl/vxUMRD Connaway and White for OCLC Research 2012
  • 9. DATA COLLECTION TOOLS AND METHODS
  • 10. Qualitative Research Definition A type of scientific research that: • Seeks answers to a question • Systematically uses predefined set of procedures to answer question • Collects evidence • Produces findings that: • Are not determined in advance • Apply beyond immediate boundaries of study
  • 11. What is Qualitative Research? “…a situated activity that locates the observer in the world. It consists of a set of interpretive, material practices that make the world visible. These practices transform the world. They turn the world into a series of representations, including field notes, interviews, conversations, photographs, recordings, & memos to the self. At this level, qualitative research involves an interpretive, naturalistic approach to the world. This means that qualitative researchers study things in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of, or to interpret, phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them.” (Denzin and Lincoln 2005)
  • 12. Quantitative Research Definition Quantitative research methods “use measurements and statistics to transform empirical data into numbers and to develop mathematical models that quantify behavior.” (Tracy, 2013)
  • 13. What is Quantitative Research? • Based on the scientific method of inquiry • Theory • Problem • Hypothesis • Measurement • Validity, reliability, and level • Includes survey research and experimental research • Utilizes statistical analysis methods
  • 14. Mixed Methods Research • Any combination of research methods • Qualitative • Quantitative • Participatory • Action • Design • Equal attention to all stages of research process • Findings should be iterative & informative (Kazmer 2017, 232-233)
  • 15. Triangulation • Term coined by Webb et al. (1966) • Multiple methods of data collection (e.g., interviews – individual & group, observation, literature, archives) • Agree, or at least don’t contradict (Miles and Huberman 1994, 266) • Multiple investigators • Multiple contexts/situations
  • 16. Mixed Methods “Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña also pointed out that although designing and conducting a mixed method research project involves careful planning and more effort in execution, the benefits greatly outweigh the difficulties (including philosophical ones).” (Connaway and Radford 2017, 229)
  • 17. 4 Project Phases • Semi-structured interviews • Diaries/monthly semi- structured interviews • Written • Video • Skype or telephone • Second group of semi- structured interviews • Online survey V&R Data Collection Tools
  • 18. Semi-structured Interviews • Incredibly detailed data • Time consuming – Establishing rapport – Selecting research participants – Transcribing observations & conversations
  • 19. Conducting the Interview 1. Thematizing: Clarifying the interview’s purpose 2. Designing: Defining the interview’s purpose 3. Interviewing: Conducting the interview 4. Transcribing: Creating a written verbatim text of the interview 5. Analyzing: Figuring out the meaning of data 6. Verifying: Determining the reliability & validity of the data 7. Reporting: Telling others about the findings (Connaway and Radford 2017, 244)
  • 20. Visitors and Residents Interviews • United States • United Kingdom • Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Madrid, Spain) • Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Milan, Italy) • Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain)
  • 21. Educational Stage Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Madrid) United States United Kingdom Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Barcelona) Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Milan) Emerging Participants 8 22 21 6 3 Establishing Participants 10 5 5 7 6 Embedding Participants 10 5 5 7 6 Experiencing Participants 10 5 5 13 5 Total 38 37 36 33 20 Visitors and Residents Interview Demographics (n=164)
  • 22. V&R Semi-Structured Interview Questions 5. Have there been times when you were told to use a library or virtual learning environment (or learning platform), and used other source(s) instead? 6. If you had a magic wand, what would your ideal way of getting information be? How would you go about using the systems and services? When? Where? How?
  • 23. Diaries • Keep directions minimal and open • Offer participants a variety of ways to report • Written • Photo • Video • Audio • Data can be rich and detailed, but is self-reported • Does not require researcher presence (Connaway and Radford, 2017)
  • 24. V&R Diaries • 22 Diarists (10 UK/12 US): • 66 diaries collected • 53 follow-up diarist interviews conducted • Conducted and collected from April 2011 through October 2013 (White and Connaway 2011-2014)
  • 25. V&R Diary Template 1. Explain a time in the past month when you were SUCCESSFUL in completing an ACADEMIC assignment. What steps did you take? 2. Think of a time fairly recently when you struggled to find appropriate resources to help you complete an ACADEMIC assignment. What happened?
  • 26. Example: Digital Visitors and Residents Diaries
  • 27. Online Surveys • Use a database, programming code, & interface to distribute surveys and collect responses • Drawbacks • Lower response rates than paper • Concerns over privacy and confidentiality • Can be spammed • Difficult to get a random sample • May underrepresent those without computers
  • 28. Online Surveys vs Interviews • Response rate can be improved with email follow ups • Quicker responses • May be less expensive • Numerous existing tools to administer the survey and host data • Decrease manual entry for researcher • Can be easier to analyze
  • 29. V&R Online Surveys • In-depth online survey • 150 participants from the US & UK • 42 Emerging • 42 Establishing • 42 Embedding • 24 Experiencing
  • 31. Why Mapping Exercise? • Learn about how we engage – Personally – Professionally – Individually – Collectively • Identify and better understand our identity and dynamics • Better understand users to better understand their workflows and engagement – Modify and change library offerings, modes of interaction, and communication • It is fun and interesting • Data and Discovery
  • 35. Usability Testing • Degree to which a user can successfully learn & use a product to achieve a goal • Evaluation research methodology • Observation & analysis of user behavior while users use a product or product prototype to achieve a goal (Dumas and Redish 1993, 22)
  • 36. Usability Testing: Components Comprised of three parts: 1. Pre-session interview 2. Scenario and task structured test 3. Post-session survey (Tang 2017, 278)
  • 37. Usability Testing: Methodology • Artificial environment (laboratory) • Maintain more control • May provide more specific data on a particular feature • Natural environment • Better holistic representation of real people doing real work (Tang 2017, 278)
  • 38. V&R Mapping App Usability Testing TASK • Think of around 10 websites you use or online activities that you regularly perform. Place each of these websites or activities on the map in a way that represents how you feel you use them (as a 'Visitor' or as a 'Resident') and the typical context in which you use them ('Personal' or 'Institutional’). PROCEDURE 1. Read the task aloud 2. Using the app, complete the task while thinking aloud 3. Indicate when they felt they had completed the task
  • 39. V&R Mapping App • Usability tested, user approved • YouTube and comic book instructions • Create and share on social media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ai0ZO3lDR4
  • 41. DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS AND METHODS
  • 42. Ethnographic Analysis • Use people’s own categories • Avoid assuming what one will find • Complementary to quantitative methods • Retain ‘richness’/‘thick description’ • Numerical compatibility (Asher 2017, 264) (Connaway and Radford 2017, 282)
  • 43. • Contain all data sources • Create and apply codes • Enable running queries • Develop visualizations • Deliver reports (Connaway and Radford 2017) Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS)
  • 44. • Draw on data...in service of developing new conceptual categories • Develop inductive abstract analytic categories through systematic data analysis • Emphasize theory construction rather than description or application of current theories (Connaway and Radford 2017) Grounded Theory
  • 45. “A major strategy for analysis of qualitative data is the use of the constant comparative method, which embraces ‘constant comparisons’ defined as ‘the analytic process of comparing different pieces of data against each other for similarities and differences.’” (Connaway and Radford 2017, 298)
  • 46. Interviews • Conduct • Transcribe Codebook • Themes • Build Codebook NVivo • Load • Insert Codebook ICR • Code portion • Run ICR Coding • Code Transcripts • Upload to NVivo Analysis • Export Results • Calculations
  • 47. Coding Analyzing the gathered data involves coding the responses (or placing each item in the appropriate category), tabulating the data, and statistical computations. Categories for coding generally evolve from the data, there are some common areas such as setting, situation, perspective, process, activity, event, relationship, role, practice, etc.

Search Engine (I.A.1) Unspecified or unlisted search engine (i.e., Bing) “Or I’ll go back to the search engine and start again and look at all the other options that I’m able to look at” (UKS4). Google (I.A.1.a) “I would start by Googling definitely” (2UKS2). Social Media (I.A.2) Unspecified or unlisted social media (i.e., LinkedIn) “Well, I like social media, but I don't know if anything would change anything about my academics … um, the only thing that I can think of that I'll probably ever be able to think of, is the detrimental effect it has on my academics because it distracts me” (USG2). Facebook (I.A.2.a) “When I'm doing homework or coursework or something, I'll always have Facebook and Twitter open, for example, as well” (2UKS2). Twitter (I.A.2.b) “Twitter, I don't use it educationally at all” (2UKS2). Library (I.B) Unspecified library “I think first of all I would search on Google Scholar to see whether there is an e-version. Because I’m pretty comfortable reading online. And if there is not, then I will go to the library. Yes. When I have to” (UKG1). Academic (I.B.1) “The majority of the journal articles that we would read are online although frequently books are still not converted into e-books yet, so they’re frequently found in the education library” (UKG2).

  • 58. “Humans are a valued source of information.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
  • 59. “En temes de salut o així no solo acudir a Internet per res perquè ...poses que et fa mal un dit i acabes tenint pesta bubònica...no es fiable, a internet...lo probablement improbable és lo segur. Aquí si que acudiria a contactes reals.” (UOCG3, Male, Age 28, Computer Science) “Regarding health affairs, I usually don’t search on the internet because… you have pain in one finger and then you end up [thinking] you have the bubonic plague… It is not reliable… improbable things become sure. For this situation, I would use personal contacts.”
  • 60. The future… “Una persona sàvia. M’agraden els llibres i la tecnologia, però les persones són millors.” “A wise person. I like books and technology, but people are better.” (UOCU1, Female, 19-25, Professions and Applied Sciences) The magic future would be…
  • 61. “Wikipedia is used by individuals in all educational stages to familiarize themselves with a subject or topic.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
  • 62. “It’s like a taboo I guess with all teachers, they just all say – you know, when they explain the paper they always say, ‘Don’t use Wikipedia.’” (Digital Visitors and Residents, USU7, Female, Age 19, Political Science) The Learning Black Market
  • 63. “Wikipedia… it’s perfect, because it gives you the words, the things, the technical words that you need to look, keywords, so Wikipedia is always, always the first step.” (UOCG1, Male, Age 35-44, Professions and Applied Sciences)
  • 64. “I used to seek information in Wikipedia, even my colleagues said that there are wrong things on it…but I said Enciclopedia Larousse [Traditional encyclopedia] also have mistakes…the only difference is that it is printed and is impossible to correct the mistakes once you have the printed version…Mistakes are not about technology, are about people.” (Digital Visitors and Residents, UOCFE6, Male, Age 53, Computer Science)
  • 65. “Convenience is a priority when making decisions about what tools and sources to use.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
  • 66. “At first I started looking online, and it was a little bit overwhelming…I ended up reaching into my mom’s cupboard and using a recipe that I found in one of her old cookbooks. The recipe was just what I was looking for...” (Digital Visitors and Residents, USS3, Emerging, Female, Age 17, High School Student) “Convenient” Isn’t Always Simple
  • 67. Satisficing…What is enough information? “…I needed the answer, my maths, I was doing an exercise, I got stuck on a question, I still had the rest of the exercise to go and I had like an hour to do it and I just wanted the formula and the quickest way to do it was to type it into Google and it came up.” (Digital Visitors and Residents, UKS2, Female, Age 17, Secondary School Student)
  • 68. “Participants report extensive use of search engines, especially Google, and take them for granted.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
  • 69. Centrality of Google & search engines “…I just think it’s [VLE web site] too complicated and it’s limited, that I just carried on going on Google.” (Digital Visitors and Residents, UKS6, Emerging, Female, Age 16, Secondary School Student)
  • 70. “Library sources are used but not recognized or attributed to the library.” (Connaway et al., 2017)
  • 71. “The students are completely unaware of the resources that the university has in repositories, databases, etc. on their subjects. Most of the interviewees do not know the possibility of consulting books in full text, being able to develop bibliographies or access remotely the funds using virtual contexts of the campus of its university. (V&R Project Team Member, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid)
  • 72. “Perhaps one of the more interesting actions could be to promote the library services to students and how to use them. Now, the library resources are embedded in the virtual classroom and the students are not aware of this, but in contrast, they don’t explore the full potential of academic library.” (Eva Ortoll Espinet, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)
  • 73. “People lack patience to wade through content silos…” (Connaway 2015, 134) “Yes, it [Matrix film plug-in to brain] - sort of makes information gathering effortless and without having to sort of manually go through and separate the chaff from the wheat.” (Digital Visitors and Residents, UKU10, Male, Age 20, Law)
  • 75. Convenience • Offer a variety of services to meet needs in different contexts and situations • Become mobile-friendly or mobile-first
  • 76. Workflows • Study and understand users’ workflows • Place library resources within those workflows
  • 77. Discovery and Access • Improve library systems for browsing • Use metadata to: • Develop visualizations of collections • Provide information in ways users are familiar with • Encourage critical literacy skills
  • 78. Marketing “Librarians need to market and promote tools and sources, especially one of the library’s most valuable sources, librarians.” (Connaway et al. 2017)
  • 79. Relationship Building “People connect with other people to get their information and they often turn to those who they know and trust.” (Connaway et al. 2017)
  • 80. The Academic Future Study the habits and practices of K-12 students to better understand our future users’ needs
  • 81. “The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and there are ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it's really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow.” –Carlton Cuse
