Place,community and information behavior: Spatially oriented information seeking zones and information source preferences     

Amelia N. Gibson  Samantha Kaplan 《Library & information science research》2017,39(2):131-139

Even in a digitally advanced society, much of our daily lives is based in place, but information behavior research has largely ignored place as theoretically relevant to information behavior. This study explores the implications of a place-based approach to studying information practices, and examines factors that influence information seeking and sharing in place-based communities among parents of individuals with disabilities. Based on qualitative data gathered from 35 parents of individuals with disabilities, it proposes a spatial model of information source preferences based on the theory of information horizons, and discusses implications of the model for future research related to information seeking and places. It also presents substantive place-related findings about local information needs, including discussion of the local parent network as an information seeking system.  相似文献   

Research agenda for social and collaborative information seeking     

Chirag Shah  Rob Capra  Preben Hansen 《Library & information science research》2017,39(2):140-146

Scholars in diverse fields of inquiry have identified the need to expand individual-based information seeking and behavior models and systems to incorporate social as well as collaborative dimensions. However, the research areas of Social Information Seeking (SIS) and Collaborative Information Seeking (CIS) have been largely disconnected from one another despite a few notable attempts to study them under one umbrella. Researchers in these communities have recently realized the value of bringing SIS and CIS together for two main reasons: often it is impossible to separate social and collaborative dimensions in a project; and by considering these two aspects of information seeking, we may be able to support human information behavior in ways not previously possible. A brief synthesis of work in the domains of SIS and CIS is presented here. Then, an integrated view is presented to consider Social and Collaborative Information Seeking (SCIS) as an intersection and extension of SIS and CIS. Benefits of this approach are discussed and the integrated view is used as the basis to present a research agenda that outlines opportunities and challenges unique to SCIS.  相似文献   

Spatial variation in accessibility of libraries in Hong Kong     

Yingqi Guo  Chee Hon Chan  Paul S.F. Yip 《Library & information science research》2017,39(4):319-329

Libraries play a significant role in supplying educational and cultural services. They are important public spaces that can contribute to creating social equality by providing unlimited access to information and public spaces for the community. In this research both the traditional measures (supply-to-demand ratio and straight distance) and advanced measures (population-weighted average nearest network distance and population-weighted average two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) score) are used to assess spatial inequity in the distribution of libraries throughout Hong Kong. How accessibility has been changed after the introduction of two strategies for improvement (community and mobile libraries) is also examined, as are spatial demographic and socioeconomic characteristics associated with library provision. The results indicate that there is a substantial heterogeneity of library provision in Hong Kong. Community and mobile libraries have significantly improved the library provision in several areas, although spatial inequality remains. Areas with demographic and socioeconomic groups with lower accessibility to library services were further identified. Data at multiple geographical scales were used, and consistent findings were obtained, confirming the robustness of the results.  相似文献   

Information world mapping: A participatory arts-based elicitation method for information behavior interviews     

Devon Greyson  Heather O&#x;Brien  Jean Shoveller 《Library & information science research》2017,39(2):149-157

Participatory, arts-based methods generate rich data with which researchers can explore information behavior in context, and may be particularly apt when engaging with youth or participants with low literacy levels. Information world mapping (IWM) is an innovative and interactive drawing-based interview technique for data elicitation. Initially developed for use in a study of young parents’ health information practices, IWM guides participants in depicting their personal social information worlds, including items, places, and relationships. Maps are then used to facilitate critical incident elicitation of participants' stories about, and interpretations of, their information practices. Within the young parent study, three styles of map were commonly seen: the directional map, the mind map, and the symbolic map. Use of IWM requires time and ethical care, but the method enables researchers to center participants’ own perspectives on information practices, triangulate data obtained via more traditional methods, and enrich understanding of social information worlds.  相似文献   

城市居民消费结构变动的因子分析     

纪荣芳  娄本平 《德州学院学报》2006,22(6):80-82,89

在居民消费结构研究中,应用最广泛的是恩格尔系数和线性支出系统,但在进行消费结构变动分析时,因指标较多且各指标的变化趋势不尽相同,很难看出居民消费在某一方面的变动趋势.多元统计分析中的因子分析法正是解决这一问题的有力工具,文中利用因子分析法和DPS数据处理系统,对泰安城市居民消费结构的变动情况进行了分析.  相似文献

马克思主义关于生态问题的理论贡献     

李娟 《衡阳师范学院学报》2003,24(2):19-21

生态学关于人与自然的关系，经历了由依附和利用大自然、无限度地掠夺大自然到寻找途径、恢复生态平衡的三个时期，出现了解决这种关系的几种有代表性的理论，然而都忽略了客观过程的辩证法，不能站在历史哲学的高度，提出解决这一问题的方案。马克思主义创始人虽不是生态学家，在这方面未留下系统的论述，但其理论中关于自由、实践的观点却为这一问题的解决提供了哲学思路；关于人与自然的辩证统一的观点为人与自然合理关系的建构奠定了理论基础。  相似文献

《地铁车站》与意象主义   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

刘保安 《河南师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2004,31(3):147-148

庞德的《地铁车站》充分体现了意象派的创作原则，堪称意象诗之典范。意象派诗人在许多方面为荚芙诗歌作出了巨大贡献。然而，意象主义运动因其自身的局限性，意象派诗人内部主张不一，意象派的理论与实践相悖等原因，在短短的几年内便走向消灭。  相似文献
