Discoverability in Digital Repositories - Systems, Perspectives, and User Studies (Paperback): Liz Woolcott, Ali Shiri Discoverability in Digital Repositories - Systems, Perspectives, and User Studies (Paperback)
Liz Woolcott, Ali Shiri
R971 Discovery Miles 9 710 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

While most discoverability evaluation studies in the Library and Information Science field discuss the intersection of discovery layers and library systems, this book looks specifically at digital repositories, examining discoverability from the lenses of system structure, user searches, and external discovery avenues. Discoverability, the ease with which information can be found by a user, is the cornerstone of all successful digital information platforms. Yet, most digital repository practitioners and researchers lack a holistic and comprehensive understanding of how and where discoverability happens. This book brings together current understandings of user needs and behaviors and poses them alongside a deeper examination of digital repositories around the theme of discoverability. It examines discoverability in digital repositories from both user and system perspectives by exploring how users access content (including their search patterns and habits, need for digital content, effects of outreach, or integration with Wikipedia and other web-based tools) and how systems support or prevent discoverability through the structure or quality of metadata, system interfaces, exposure to search engines or lack thereof, and integration with library discovery tools. Discoverability in Digital Repositories will be particularly useful to digital repository managers, practitioners, and researchers, metadata librarians, systems librarians, and user studies, usability and user experience librarians. Additionally, and perhaps most prominently, this book is composed with the emerging practitioner in mind. Instructors and students in Library and Information Science and Information Management programs will benefit from this book that specifically addresses discoverability in digital repository systems and services.

Real Dorset (Paperback): Jon Woolcott Real Dorset (Paperback)

Real Dorset is a personal, detailed, discursive, humorous and idiosyncratic look at Dorset. The county is famous for its spectacular coastline, for its historic towns, for its eco-foodie reputation, for Hardy and Fowles. But there's much more behind the tourist-friendly facade - subversion, rebellion and revolt, wealth and poverty, ghost stories and rich folklore. Dorset is home to the largest, but now lost, Neolithic earthwork in Britain. Its history can surprise - from the murky origins of the Cerne Abbas Giant to the black American GIs stationed here in wartime. Woolcott criss-crosses the county, making connections, uncovering the hidden and the forgotten. Stone circles and ancient hillforts contrast with Victorian pleasure gardens and nightlife in Bournemouth. Trade unionism originating from Tolpuddle, the model village of Milton Abbas, vie for the reader's attention with the importance of Dorset for writers like William Barnes, TE Lawrence, Hardy, Fowles and Sylvia Townsend Warner and artists John Piper, Rena Gardiner and Elisabeth Frink. Tombstoning at Lulworth, exploring Chesil Beach and the Fleet, boat trips along the coast, the modern pagan celebration of the Filly-Loo: Real Dorset covers all aspects of life past and present in this richly historical and much-visited edge of south west England. Locals and tourists alike may think they know Dorset: Jon Woolcott's book may well prove that there is plenty more to learn about it. Illustrated with the author's black and white photographs.

Reconceptualising Information Processing for Education (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020): Geoff Woolcott Reconceptualising Information Processing for Education (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)
Geoff Woolcott
R2,923 Discovery Miles 29 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents a novel conceptualisation of universal information processing systems based on studies of environmental interaction in both biological and non-biological systems. This conceptualisation is used to demonstrate how a single overarching framework can be applied to the investigation of human learning and memory by considering matter and energy pathways and their connections. In taking a stance based on everyday interactions, as well as on scientific practices, the conceptualisation is used to consider educational theories and practices, exemplified by the widely cited cognitive load theory. In linking these theories and practices more closely to scientific thinking, the book embraces an holistic approach to informational interactions, not limited to conceptualisations of pattern, signal or meaning. The book offers educational researchers and educators an opportunity to re-think their approach to instruction - to take all facets of student learning environments into account in increasing human knowledge, skills and experiences across society.

The summer crowds have descended on the playground of the rich, where no one is prepared for what arrives next... When laid-back local Alec Costner makes his usual late-night visit to his favorite East Hampton beach, he hears screams coming from an oceanfront mansion. A moment later, he sees a naked woman plunge into the waves. Trying to save her, he watches in disbelief as two other women suddenly surface in the dark sea, taking the naked woman with them. At the mansion where the screams originated, is a dead millionaire, his neck twisted and broken. Within days, a scientist arrives, intent on finding evidence for the existence of mermaids. Soon, strange and terrifying encounters are documented. And men begin to disappear. The lure of the siren's song is proving to be as lethal as it's always been. From the Hamptons to England, to the dark recesses of History itself, Robert Woolcott's novel takes readers on a journey they will never forget.

Born and raised on a farm in the hills of Missouri, Cela Kuhne was a classical example of ignorance. At the age of thirteen, she had no idea of how big the world really was. Torn from the only home she'd known and thrown into the 'Big City' environment, she quickly learn just how naive she had been. Orphaned at twenty-one, Cela discovered that her mother had talents that had never been revealed to the world. Cela was suddenly incredibly wealthy, at least by her own limited standard. Remembering her mother's words as she lay dying, Cela set out to learn as much as she could and changed her life in ways that she'd had no idea were possible. 'That's Life' is a story of bitterness and redemption, and it may open others' eyes, too.

A social outcast and street person at the age of 17, Elise Fontaine followed her dreams and never looked back. Talented in way she had yet to discover, she took what life offered her with emotional maturity and determination. Her code of ethics kept her helping others. Her passion about her work made her some enemies but many more friends. Her creative genius gave rise to accusations of sabotage and accolades from the powers that be. What more could a young woman ask of life? Ahh, that's the rub. She wanted someone to love her for herself, and endured both kidnapping and heartbreak in the attempt to find that man.
