The Internet is like a bridge

The Internet is like a bridge between people and information.  Libraries use buildings
where people can go to make new connections with information from books to online
databases, and to learn and communicate ideas and ask questions.

Modeling Users' Successive Searches in Digital Environments: A National Science Foundation/British Library Funded Study http://www.dlib.org/dlib/april98/04spink.html
"As digital libraries become a major source of information for many people, we need to know more about how people seek and retrieve information in digital environments. Quite commonly, users with a problem-at-hand and associated question-in-mind repeatedly search a literature for answers, and seek information in stages over extended periods from a variety of digital information resources. The process of repeatedly searching over time in relation to a specific, but possibly an evolving information problem (including changes or shifts in a variety of variables), is called the successive search phenomenon. The study outlined in this paper is currently investigating this new and little explored line of inquiry for information retrieval, Web searching, and digital libraries."
 UCLA-NSF Social Aspects of Digital Libraries Workshop: Final Report http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/DL/UCLA_DL_Report.html
"This workshop was a result of a series of informal conversations that took place over the last several years with increasing frequency, between members of multiple disciplinary and professional communities, regarding the need for more research on the social aspects of digital libraries. Many scholars are recognizing that a new intellectual community of interest is forming around these issues. Although we came from very different disciplines, our paths had crossed or paralleled for years. The emergence of this community reflects a joint sensibility that we are experiencing a major social transformation, and that digital libraries are a crucible for this transformation. Some of us knew each other from concerns with ethics and privacy; some came from science and technology studies; some knew of each other through methodological conversations; some knew each other's work through seeking abstract connections in the literature. No individual at the workshop knew all the other participants; rather, the group was selected to represent a diverse but complementary set of interests, drawing from networks of people known to the organizers and the advisory board."
 Using Online Information Resources by Roberta Lamb http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/DL95/papers/lamb/lamb.html
"Discussions of digital library implementations often assume academic contexts of use. However, the information technologies that will comprise digital libraries will also be available to corporate consumers, government organizations and individuals. Effective implementation of digital libraries, more broadly conceived, may be less a matter of identifying appropriate usage scenarios for scholarly research than of understanding online information (OI) resource usage by a larger consumer constituency. In this paper we selectively review the research literature about using online information resources, and we provide a framework for examining the explanatory value that different perspectives bring to the discussion. We see that the interorganizational usability aspects of OI resources are the least well-examined, but possibly the most important elements of online information resource usability. As conceptions of the digital library domain begin to extend beyond the scholarly enclave, we suggest these interorganizational usability aspects will become more salient to empirical researchers and library professionals."
