Cardinal: Novel software for studying file management behavior
Authors: Dinneen Jesse David , Frissen Ilja , Odoni Fabian , Julien Charles‐Antoine 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTIn this paper we describe the design and trial use of Cardinal, novel software that overcomes the limitations of existing research tools used in personal information management (PIM) studies focusing on file management (FM) behavior. Cardinal facilitates large‐scale collection of FM behavior data along an extensive list of file system properties and additional relevant dimensions (e.g., demographic, software and hardware, etc). It enables anonymous, remote, and asynchronous participation across the 3 major operating systems, uses a simple interface, and provides value to participants by presenting a summary of their file and folder collections. In a 15‐day trial implementation, Cardinal examined over 2.3 million files across 46 unsupervised participants. To test its adaptability we extended it to also collect psychological questionnaire responses and technological data from each participant. Participation sessions took an average of just over 10 minutes to complete, and participants reported positive impressions of their interactions. Following the pilot, we revised Cardinal to further decrease participation time and improve the user interface. Our tests suggest that Cardinal is a viable tool for FM research, and so we have made its source freely available to the PIM community.
Perception and effectiveness of search advertising on smartphones
Authors: Domachowski Alexa , Griesbaum Joachim , Heuwing Ben 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis paper explores the perception and effectiveness of mobile search ads from the perspective of users. The study investigates the attention and interaction of users as well as their subjective estimation of paid listings within Google search results on smartphones. During the tests, each of the 20 users has to accomplish four different search tasks. Data collection methods combine eye‐tracking with click‐through analysis and interviews. Results indicate that there is no “ad blindness” on mobile search, but similar to desktop search, users also tend to avoid search advertising on smartphones. For mobile search, ads appear to cause higher usability costs than on desktop.
Changing approaches to research synthesis affect social and intellectual structures of science
Authors: Sheble Laura 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTResearch synthesis methods, like collaboration and interdisciplinary research, comprise practices through which scholarly and scientific knowledge is integrated. The methods, which include meta‐analysis and integrative or systematic review, are also arguably one of the most important contemporary methodological innovations in many social, medical, health, and perhaps other sciences. As an innovative research practice, research synthesis, like many innovations, may be associated with complex or unexpected consequences as it diffuses through the research system. This study examines the extent to which the diffusion of research synthesis methods has affected levels of collaboration and research use through comparison with literature reviews in five fields. In Social Work and Information and Library Science, more authors contributed to research syntheses than reviews. There was no difference in number of authors in the biological sciences examined: two to four authors typically contributed to both reviews and syntheses. Research syntheses were used more than reviews in Conservation Biology and Women's Studies. In Social Work, research syntheses and reviews were cited at similar levels, but production of reviews decreased as syntheses increased, suggesting that research synthesis was becoming the predominant approach to review, while traditional reviews remained valuable to researchers though in an increasingly narrow range of contexts. In Information and Library Science, research reviews were used more than research syntheses, and trends suggest that research reviews are a relatively rare but highly prized – or at least frequently used – resource. No difference was found between use of research syntheses and reviews in Evolutionary Biology. Future research should investigate relationships between different approaches to knowledge integration in the context of science fields, which would lead to a better understanding of integration, or synthesis, in science overall.
A proof of concept personalized music player for persons with alzheimer's disease
Authors: Stoeckle Marc , Freund Luanne 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTNumerous studies have shown that persons diagnosed with mild to severe Alzheimer's disease exhibit positive reactions when listening to familiar music. Results show that the disease spares musical memory in comparison to other memory parts of the brain until very late stages of Alzheimer's. This project explores the potential of a minimal user‐interface design prototype for smart devices that relies upon simple user interactions, i.e. browsing and skipping, to identify and retrieve familiar and preferred music. We report on the results of a small Wizard of Oz study that provides support for the initial design concept and input to the next round of the design cycle. Most participants were able to interact with the device and to quickly identify preferred music that provided a useful starting point for collaborative filtering‐based recommendations.
An exploration of “localness” on twitter during the 2012 U.S. elections
Authors: Million A. J. , Bishop Bradley Wade , Goggins Sean P. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis poster presents an exploratory method used to analyze the geography of Twitter use. A shift has taken place in political speech from local to diffuse online environments, which necessitates the use of new tools and methods to analyze discourse. As such, this study presents a geo‐spatial analysis of tweets to members of the U.S. Congress in 2012 to aid researchers carrying out comparable research in the future. This poster also presents summarized findings about the sometimes localized, often national distribution of geo‐located tweets to Congress members. This poster concludes by calling for discussion about spatial analysis and social media tools, while highlighting methodological problems encountered in this study and offering directions for future research.
Comparing citation characteristics based on reference entries, in‐text citations, and essential citations
Authors: Lin Chi‐Shiou 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTIn this poster, we describe partial findings from a larger study that explores the influences of three different citation bases (reference entries, in‐text citations, and essential citations) on the results of citation analysis in social sciences and humanities. Various citation characteristics such as document type, document language, self‐citation rate, cited half life, and subject distributions of cited works will systematically compared to understand whether the selection of citation base did have an influence on the results. The completed analyses of the sociology discipline will be presented in this poster.
Deconstructing the failure: Analyzing the unanswered questions within educational Q&A
Authors: Rath Manasa , Shah Chirag 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTCommunity Question and Answering (CQA) is a well‐known platform for knowledge sharing and social learning. CQA services have expanded into the education sector, where school students are the main users. Here, CQA functions as a non‐traditional learning environment in which students use their own knowledge to construct the knowledge base. However, there have been cases where some questions are not answered within such a Q&A system. This failure may occur if a question is unclear, complex, inappropriate, or unrelated to the subject in which it is contextualized. While experts do not answer posted questions, co‐users moderate responses and help maintain answer quality. However, due to the presence of users from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, many questions remain unanswered. The current study analyzes and explores the failed questions collected from Brainly, a social learning Q&A platform for school students. The quality of 1,000 questions extracted from this service is analyzed based on human‐based ratings and extracted textual features. The findings show that a relationship can be drawn between the non‐textual assessment results and the objective textually extracted features. This further encourages the study of why a question might be of poor quality. The findings also show which subjects contain the highest number of unanswered questions. These results will further help us to understand how questions should be restructured to obtain answers from their askers' peers.
Effects of color of book cover and typeface of title and author name on gaze duration and choice behavior for books: Evidence from an eye‐tracking experiment
Authors: Nakahata Shoko , Sakamoto Emiko , Oda Akiho , Kobata Noriko , Sato Sho 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis study explores the effect of color of book cover and typeface of title and author name on human gaze behavior while browsing bookshelves. An eye‐tracking experiment was performed with 23 participants, using a wearable eye‐tracker and 96 books. The difference of gaze duration time and the number of book subjects chosen was analyzed in two categories: between warm color book covers and cold color ones, and between Ming‐style typeface and Gothic typeface. Results showed no effect of book cover color on gaze duration and user choice. However, typeface of book title and author name had an effect. It was revealed that Gothic typeface was more attractive if book titles had meaning.
Examining task relationships in multitasking consumer search sessions: A query log analysis
Authors: Zhou Xiang , Zhang Pengyi , Wang Jun 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTWith the advancement of the Internet, search has expanded to every aspect of our daily lives including online shopping. Previous research has discovered that the focused, one‐time search task model does not apply in many real‐life settings and people engage in multitasking sessions. In this poster, we examined the relationships among tasks in multitasking product search through query log analysis. We analyzed 2,910 users' 47,387 queries in 18,102 product search sessions fromtaobao.com, the biggest Chinese C2C e‐commerce site. Results show that: (1) 35.7% of all search sessions were multi‐tasking sessions; (2) users' issued more queries and spent more time in multitasking sessions, but the number of queries per task remained similar for mono‐tasking and multitasking sessions; (3) about 80% of the tasks were unrelated in multitasking sessions, while the other 20% were hierarchical and sibling tasks. The results provide exploratory understanding of the relationships among multiple product search tasks, and could be useful for query recommendation and product recommendation.
Information diffusion and opinion change during thegezi park protests: Homophily or social influence?
Authors: Dincelli Ersin , Hong Yuan , DePaula Nic 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTGrowth in online, opinion‐rich sources of information, such as social networking websites, microblogs, and discussion forums, makes it possible for information to spread and reach others more easily than ever. During social movements the diffusion of ideas on these online platforms, along with other factors, may influence users' decision of what to think or who to support. This paper develops a study to investigate the effects of homophily mechanism as it may impact individuals' opinions and, in particular how opinions about a certain event change over time through mimicry and conformity. In this paper we present a Twitter dataset of communication during theGezi Park Proteststhat took place in Turkey in 2013. We also present preliminary results based on text analysis and future steps for testing the effects of homophily mechanism.
How do scientists determine data reusability? A quasi‐experiment think‐aloud study
Authors: Murillo Angela P. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis poster presents preliminary findings of a quasi‐experiment think‐aloud study where scientists were presented four canned results of information regarding earth science data in a counter‐balanced design. Scientists were asked to think‐aloud regarding what information about the data assisted them in their ability to determine reusability of that dataset. Sixteen scientists from various earth science fields participated in the study. Each scientist responded to four canned results, a post‐result usefulness survey, a post‐search rank‐order survey, and a post‐search survey. Participants stated that concise data descriptions, attribute and unit lists, as well as research methods steps were particularly important in their ability to determine reusability of data. Participants preferred more robust results over less robust results, and stated that they would rather have too much information than to request the data to find out it actually did not serve their needs.
Newcomers from the other side of the globe: International students' local information seeking during adjustment
Authors: Oh Chi Young , Butler Brian S. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThrough the findings from a longitudinal survey and the preliminary analysis of the follow‐up interviews, this paper explores how international newcomer students' needs for local information and their information‐seeking behavior develop during adjustment to new host environments. Also, this study examines the relationships between their local information behaviors and the demographic and socio‐national contexts of newcomer students. The results are discussed in a way to deepen our understanding of international students' information‐seeking behavior during adjustment to unfamiliar local environments and the various contexts that shape the changes of their information behavior over time. Finally, this paper provides implications for developing information behavior models and theories in the contexts of newcomers and for designing information systems, policies, and services to better support international students' information practices and adjustment in unfamiliar environments.

Authors: Enwald Heidi , Kangas Maarit , Keränen Niina , Korpelainen Raija , Huvila Isto , Jämsä Timo 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTOlder people's usage of mobile devices is increasing. This study is part of the GASEL project and seeks to increase the understanding of the use of mobile information technology and opinions towards it. Opinions are compared between genders and age groups. The population based data were collected by conducting a questionnaire survey. A random sample of 1,500 adults 65 years of age or older was obtained from the Finnish Population Register Centre. The number of respondents was 918 with a response rate of 61.2 %. About one fifth (n=169) had used a tablet computer and approximately one third (n=226) had used a mobile phone with a touch screen in the past 12 months without encountering major difficulties. The respondents had mostly thought that using the devices would not be easy. They had also thought that the usage would not be too expensive for them. Men and younger old people held more positive opinions towards these new technologies. Older people are slower in adapting and accepting new technologies and this should be taken into account when designing services, applications and content, as these technologies have the potential to enrichen the lives of this specific population group.
Piracy, public access, and preservation: An exploration of sustainable accessibility in a public torrent index
Authors: Martin John D. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTMembers of the Pirate Parties International have claimed that torrent networks have the potential to function as repositories for popular cultural materials and historical primary source data. The Pirate Bay is the world's most popular public index for tracking and downloading torrents. Using a snapshot of torrents on the site, this study considers the potential for torrent networks to preserve and provide access to cultural materials in the form of digital media content. Metadata from 2.1 million torrents were categorized by media type and the robustness of given torrents was assessed. Trends over time, such as number of uploads and volume, were also investigated. This study found that relatively few torrents exhibit long‐term survivability, even though the overall volume in the index shows continuous increase.
Red flags in data: Learning from failed data reuse experiences
Authors: Yoon Ayoung 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis study examined the data reusers' failed or unsuccessful experience to understand what constituted reusers' failure. Learning from failed experiences is necessary to understand why the failure occurred and to prevent the failure or convert the failure to success. This study offers an alternative view on data reuse practices and provides insights for facilitating data reuse processes by eliminating core components of failure. From the interviews with 23 quantitative social science data reusers who had failed data reuse experiences, the study findings suggest: (a) ease of reuse, particularly the issue of access and interoperability, is the important initial condition for a successful data reuse experience; (b) understanding data through documentation may be less of an issue, at least for experienced researchers to make their data reuse unsuccessful, although the process can still be challenging; and (c) the major component of failed experience is the lack of support in reusing data, which emphasizes the need to develop a support system for data reusers.
Research trends in mothers' health information seeking behaviors: A review of the literature
Authors: Lee Hanseul Stephanie 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis study aims to identify and examine research trends relating to mothers' health information seeking behaviors from 1994 to August 2015. Eighty‐seven articles from multiple disciplines were selected systematically and reviewed in diverse aspects: characteristics of the articles, use of theories, information sources, and seeking strategies. This research topic has been given numerous attention since 1994. In particular, the number of publications skyrocketed since 2013. Twenty‐two different theories and models have been utilized in examining mothers' health information seeking behaviors. Furthermore, four seeking strategies of mothers were recognized as asking questions, utilizing multiple sources, borrowing medical literature from libraries, and sharing experiences with friends. Implications for future research in this topic are discussed.
Sentiment analysis and topic extraction of the twitter network of #prayforparis
Authors: Chong Miyoung 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTSocial media includes a copious amount of sentiment‐embodied sentences. Sentiment is described as “a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty,” which may depict the emotional state of the user, such as happy, glad, terrified, miserable, or the author's viewpoint on a topic. In social science, emotions and sentiment make up a significant part of social life and are interconnected with social relationships. When experiencing emotions, people want to reveal those emotions to other people. This study seeks to validate whether the Emotional Contagion social theory holds true in microblogging data. This theory implies that related people tend to have more similar sentiments or opinions. Motivated by this sociological observation, the study explores the sentiment‐semantics of the Twitter network of #prayforparis through sentiment analysis and topic extraction. Social Network Analysis was conducted using NodeXL to investigate the research questions. The study implemented R for conducting sentiment analysis and generating word clouds with the collected data. The study also conducted content analysis of tweets through topic extraction by applying the most recent version of SAS Enterprise Miner (13.2). In conclusion, the results confirmed the Emotional Contagion Theory in the Twitter network of #prayforparis.
Shopping for sources: An everyday information behavior exploration of grocery shoppers' information sources
Authors: Ocepek Melissa G. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThe field of everyday information behavior addresses how individuals interact with information in their daily lives. Previous research in the field has largely ignored the banal and quotidian portions of everyday life, such as grocery shopping, which represents a gap the current project fills. Through two empirical studies using qualitative methods, the present work presents the prevalence and variety of information sources used by grocery shoppers. Findings indicate that grocery shoppers rely on close human sources, domain‐specific sources, and on surprisingly few online sources throughout the process of their grocery shopping. The findings demonstrate the information‐richness of grocery shopping and suggest that other everyday spaces may be fruitful areas for information behavior research.
Using low‐cost electroencephalography (EEG) sensor to identify perceived relevance on web search
Authors: González‐Ibáñez Roberto , Escobar‐Macaya María , Manriquez Manuel 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis poster presents preliminary results from a user study designed to evaluate the feasibility to use a low‐cost EEG sensor in the identification of information relevance as perceived by users. The study involved 10 participants, both graduate and undergraduate students, performing a self‐motivated exploratory search task contextualized on the literature review for their own thesis work. The study design comprised two stages that focus on (1) snippets collection and (2) explicit relevance assessments. In both stages, participants wore a low‐cost electroencephalography (EEG) sensor that provides measures related to two mental states (i.e. attention and meditation). Analyses focused on comparing the presence and intensity of these mental states in the set of pages (both relevant and non‐relevant) classified by the users themselves. Results showed that attention levels and blink intensity in relevant pages are significantly higher than in non‐relevant ones.
Walk1916: Exploring how a mobile walking tour app can provide value for LAMs
Authors: Cushing Amber L. , Cowan Benjamin R. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we describe preliminary findings of semi‐structured interviews with eight testers of the Walk1916 mobile walking tour of the Easter Rising in Dublin, Ireland. While some LAMs have begun to integrate mobile technology into their suite of tools to enhance the cultural heritage experience, most studies align the value of these tools with existing institutional measures of impact. Understanding the ways in which users value a mobile app that integrates digital collections with a walking tour allows LAMs to develop best practices for use of such tools associated with the cultural heritage experiences, as well as ways to assess such tools. Preliminary findings suggest that geo‐location and the ability to compare between archival image and modern day add significant value to the users' cultural heritage experiences.
