Adams, Benjamin Thomas – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Places and place types, such as "small town", play a fundamental role in how people organize knowledge about the world. Although places are commonly referenced in human communication, often they are not canonically defined and many of the properties people associate with them have proved difficult to operationalize. In information…

Ellington, Virginia Beth Elder – ProQuest LLC, 2012
This research study was undertaken to gain a richer understanding of the use of patient-introduced online health information during the physician/patient examination and knowledge transfer process. Utilizing qualitative data obtained from ten family physician interviews and workflow modeling using activity diagrams and task structure charts, this…

Baird, Aaron – ProQuest LLC, 2012
A long tradition of adoption of innovations research in the information systems context suggests that innovative information systems are typically adopted by the largest companies, with the most slack resources and the most management support within competitive markets. Additionally, five behavioral characteristics (relative advantage,…

Ji, Shengyue – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Traditional information systems return answers after a user submits a complete query. Users often feel "left in the dark" when they have limited knowledge about the underlying data, and have to use a try-and-see approach for finding information. The trend of supporting autocomplete in these systems is a first step towards solving this problem. A…

Ashrafi, Noushin; Kuilboer, Jean-Pierre; Joshi, Chaitanya; Ran, Iris; Pande, Priyanka – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2014
The explosive advances in information technology combined with the current climate for health care reform have intensified the need for skilled individuals who can develop, understand, and manage medical information systems in organizations. Health Informatics facilitates quality care at a reasonable cost by allowing access to the right data by…

Hawkins, Donald T. – Online, 1996
Describes information metering technology as a method that information providers use to provide information collections to users in encrypted form and charge them only for the parts actually used. Discusses how two current information metering systems (Wave Systems Corporation and CD-MAX) operate, the institutions using their systems, and the…

Conlon, John R.; Conlon, Sumali J. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1998
Uses a simple model of an information retrieval (IR) technology to examine performance measures for IR systems. Shows that, if a user is employing a system optimally, then reasonable performance measures will tend to be relatively robust, or insensitive, to small variations in assumptions about the user's behavior. (AEF)

Coen, Michael; Nicol, David – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2007
Information and communications technologies are radically changing the way that teaching and learning activities are organised and delivered within higher education (HE) institutions. A wide range of technologies is being deployed in quite complex and interactive ways, including virtual learning environments (VLEs), mobile communication…

Oliver, Ron – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1996
The discrete forms of knowledge required for successful use of interactive information systems are investigated. Achievement of three forms of knowledge among novice users of a CD-ROM encyclopedia was examined. Tasks measured users' knowledge and skills in managing/controlling the system, navigating between information nodes, and selecting…

Mikulecky, Peter; Mikulecka, Jaroslava – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Suggests that a solution to the inadequacy and passivity problems with push and pull technologies could be in a combination of both, with an active component, adding more intelligence to the whole process of information and knowledge dissemination and supply. Describes basic principles of activity components in intelligent systems, and some…

Chen, Hsinchun; Dhar, Vasant – Information Processing and Management, 1991
Two studies of the cognitive processes involved in online document-based information retrieval were conducted. These studies led to the development of five computational models of online document retrieval which were incorporated into the design of an "intelligent" document-based retrieval system. Both the system and the broader implications of…

Beaulieu, Micheline – Journal of Documentation, 2000
Explores the concepts of interaction and interactivity presented in different theoretical models in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI) and information-seeking/searching behavior, and relates these to information retrieval (IR) research. Suggests that interaction in HCI is primarily concerned with establishing a user/system dialogue at…

Gupta, Amardeep – Journal of Educational Technology, 2005
Current search engines--even the constantly surprising Google--seem unable to leap the next big barrier in search: the trillions of bytes of dynamically generated data created by individual web sites around the world, or what some researchers call the "deep web." The challenge now is not information overload, but information overlook.…

Clyde, Laurel A.; Kirk, Joyce – School Library Media Quarterly, 1989
Describes a survey of Australian primary and secondary schools that examined their use of electronic information systems. Topics discussed include systems and services in use, the extent of system use and acceptance, curriculum applications, perceived problems and benefits, and some of the strategies and administrative procedures connected with…

Arms, Caroline, Ed. – 1999
On April 6, 1998, the Digital Library Federation (DLF) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored a one-day workshop on ways to improve systems of managing access to digital information. The workshop was convened to provide input from research libraries with a focus on requirements for access management systems that can be designed and…
