    What a difference a tag cloud makes: effects of tasks and cognitive abilities on search res... Page 1 of 27 VOL. 14 NO. 4, DECEMBER, 2009 Contents | Author index | Subject index | Search | Home What a difference a tag cloud makes: effects of tasks and cognitive abilities on search results interface use Jacek Gwizdka Department of Library and Information Science, School of Communication and Information, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA Abstract Introduction. The goal of this study is to expand our understanding of the relationships between selected tasks, cognitive abilities and search result interfaces. The underlying objective is to understand how to select search results presentation for tasks and user contexts Method. Twenty three participants conducted four search tasks of two types and used two interfaces (List and Overview) to refine and examine search results. Clickthrough data were recorded. This controlled study employed a mixed model design with two within-subject factors (task and interface) and two between-subject factors (two cognitive abilities: memory span and verbal closure). Analysis. Quantitative analyses were carried out by means of the statistical package SPSS. Specifically, multivariate analysis of variance with repeated measures and non-parametric tests were performed on the collected data. Results.The overview of search results appeared to have benefited searchers in several ways. It made them faster; it facilitated formulation of more effective queries and helped to assess search results. Searchers with higher cognitive abilities were faster in the Overview interface and in less demanding situations (on simple tasks), while at the same time they issued about the same number of queries as lower-ability searchers.

    ISSN: 2006-1463 LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE DIGEST Journal of the Nigerian Library Association Anambra State Chapter Volume 7, June 2014. Article SOCIAL MEDIA AND LIBRARY SERVICES: POINTS OF CONVERGENCE Peter Nnamdi Ibe* & Obiora Kingsley Udem** *Nnewi Divisional Library, Nnewi **Dept. of Library and Information Science, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Abstract The Internet has brought in its wake unlimited opportunities for information sourcing, retrieval and dissemination, as well as plethora of platforms for exchange of information. Among such platforms are web 2.0 technologies like Twitter, Blog, Facebook, My space, Linkedin, Wiki, Flicker and a host of others known and referred to as the social media. The social media is home to millions of subscribers who make use of these sites daily for one information need or the other, to socialize or to interact. One of the core mandates of libraries is to provide needed information for their diverse users. Because of the popularity enjoyed by these social media outfits as a result of ability to disseminate information, it has been latched on by many professions, including libraries whose duty is to provide needed information. This paper discusses the major social media technologies and benefits to libraries. It also explained the need for these social media technologies in the libraries, as well as how libraries can integrate them. The paper concluded by stating that there is need for management of libraries to ensure internet connectivity in their libraries, which is a prerequisite for the use of these applications. 82 © 2014 The Authors, Nigerian Library Association, Anambra State Chapter.

Journal of Digital Information 10(1). Studying Social Tagging and Folksonomy: A Review and Framework J. Trant, University of Toronto / Archives & Museum Informatics 158 Lee Ave, Toronto, ON Canada M4E 2P3 jtrant [at] archimuse.com Abstract This paper reviews research into social tagging and folksonomy (as reflected in about 180 sources published through December 2007). Methods of researching the contribution of social tagging and folksonomy are described, and outstanding research questions are presented. This is a new area of research, where theoretical perspectives and relevant research methods are only now being defined. This paper provides a framework for the study of folksonomy, tagging and social tagging systems. Three broad approaches are identified, focusing first, on the folksonomy itself (and the role of tags in indexing and retrieval); secondly, on tagging (and the behaviour of users); and thirdly, on the nature of social tagging systems (as socio-technical frameworks). Keywords: Social tagging, folksonomy, tagging, literature review, research review 1. Introduction User-generated keywords – tags – have been suggested as a lightweight way of enhancing descriptions of on-line information resources, and improving their access through broader indexing. “Social Tagging” refers to the practice of publicly labeling or categorizing resources in a shared, on-line environment.

  • The Example of Swedish Independent Music Fandom by Nancy K
    First Monday Online groups are taking new forms as participants spread themselves amongst multiple Internet and offline platforms. The multinational online community of Swedish independent music fans exemplifies this trend. This participant–observation analysis of this fandom shows how sites are interlinked at multiple levels, and identifies several implications for theorists, researchers, developers, industry and independent professionals, and participants. Contents Introduction Fandom Swedish popular music The Swedish indie music fan community Discussion Conclusion Introduction The rise of social network sites is often taken to exemplify a shift from the interest–based online communities of the Web’s “first” incarnation to a new “Web 2.0” in which individuals are the basic unit, rather than communities. In a recent First Monday article, for instance, boyd (2006) states, “egocentric networks replace groups.” I argue that online groups have not been “replaced.” Even as their members build personal profiles and egocentric networks on MySpace, Facebook, BlackPlanet, Orkut, Bebo, and countless other emerging social network sites, online groups continue to thrive on Web boards, in multiplayer online games, and even on the all–but–forgotten Usenet. However, online communities are also taking a new form somewhere between the site-based online group and the egocentric network, distributing themselves throughout a variety of sites in a quasi–coherent networked fashion. This new form of distributed community poses particular problems for its members, developers, and analysts. This paper, based on over two years of participant–observation, describes this new shape of online community through a close look at the multinational online community of fans of independent rock music from Sweden.

  • Tag Cloud Reorganization: Finding Groups of Related Tags on Delicious
    Tag Cloud Reorganization: Finding Groups of Related Tags on Delicious ABSTRACT Tag clouds have become an appealing way of navigating through web pages on social tagging systems. Recent research has focused on finding relations among tags to improve visualization and access to web documents from tag clouds. Reorganizing tag clouds according to tag relatedness has been suggested as an effective solution to ease navigation. Most of the approaches either rely on co-occurrences or rely on textual content to represent tags. In this chapter we will explore tag cloud reorganization based on both of them. We compare these clouds from a qualitative point of view, analyzing pros and cons of each approach. We show encouraging results suggesting that co-occurrences produce more compelling reorganization of tag clouds than textual content, being computationally less expensive. INTRODUCTION Social bookmarking sites allow to collaboratively annotate web pages, relying on the social tagging philosophy. Social tagging is a Web 2.0 application based phenomenon where users can describe web contents by adding tags or keywords as metadata in an open, collaborative and non-hierarchical way (Smith, 2008). Social bookmarking is a popular way to store, organize, comment on and search links to any web page, and it has emerged as one of the most important web applications that eases information sharing. Popular collaborative tagging sites have aggregated a vast amount of user-created metadata in the form of tags, providing valuable information about the interests and expertise of the users. Because of this, it becomes a fertile area to scientific research on social media (Gupta et al., 2010).

  • Piloted Search and Recommendation with Social Tag Cloud-Based Navigation
    Piloted Search and Recommendation with Social Tag Cloud-Based Navigation Cédric Mesnage Mark Carman Faculty of Informatics Faculty of Informatics University of Lugano University of Lugano [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT We investigate the generation of tag clouds using Bayesian models and test the hypothesis that social network informa- tion is better than overall popularity for ranking new and relevant information. We propose three tag cloud genera- tion models based on popularity, topics and social structure. We conducted two user evaluations to compare the models for search and recommendation of music with social net- work data gathered from ”Last.fm”. Our survey shows that search with tag clouds is not practical whereas recommenda- tion is promising. We report statistical results and compare the performance of the models in generating tag clouds that lead users to discover songs that they liked and were new to them. We find statistically significant evidence at 5% confi- dence level that the topic and social models outperform the popular model. Figure 1: Searching task. 1.
