| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
A field study investigates how scholars utilize the user interface features in a web-based research library to conduct historical research. Taking a user-centered approach, the investigation designs a web-based research library and evaluates its use by researchers. Initially, the investigation examines the behavior of scholars conducting historical research in a library special collection on Scientific Management. The results of the multiple-case study produce a conceptual model of scholarly inquiry and the design requirements for a digital library to support researchers' behavior. The requirements include user interface features and capabilities for researchers to access a database of large full-text and multimedia documents by remotely submitting natural language queries to an intelligent information retrieval system. The investigation implements a prototype of a web-based research library to examine its use and test the initial design requirements..
