REGISTRATION CLOSES TOMORROW FOR THE NFAIS WEBINAR:  Factors Shaping User
Information Behavior:  A Look at Survey Results 

 

Registration will close at 3:00pm EST tomorrow, December 16th, for the NFAIS
Webinar that will take a look at the factors shaping user information
behavior. 

 

Scheduled for Monday, December 19, 2011 (11:00am - 12:30pm EST), the session
will focus on time constraints and other factors that shape user information
seeking behavior.  Dr. Lynn Connaway, Senior Research Scientist, OCLC
Research, will draw on multiple surveys performed by the JISC, Research
Information Network (RIN), and OCLC cooperatives, to provide insights on the
following questions and more: 

 

*	What exactly are searchers using Google for?
*	How much confidence do scholars and students have in their own
search competency? Do they distinguish between library databases and other
online sources?
*	What is more important in discovery - simple search or "power
browsing?"
*	What is meant by "squirreling downloads"?

 

Dr. Connaway will address the role that convenience plays in driving
discovery in an academic library and what the prominence of convenience in
the users' mindset signifies for further interface development and delivery.
