目前，音乐数字图书馆系统的开发基于用户需求的轶事证据、用户信息查找行为的直观感受以及典型使用场景的先验假设。重点放在音乐文档表示、高效搜索和基于音频的搜索方面的基础研究，而不是探索目标用户群的音乐信息需求或信息行为。我们专注于引出搜索流行音乐的人们所采用的“本地”音乐信息策略（即，出于娱乐或享受目的而寻求的音乐，而不是支持对音乐某些方面的“严肃”或科学探索）。为此，我们对研究人员当地社区的人们使用的搜索/浏览技术进行了人种学研究，因为他们使用两种常见的音乐来源：公共图书馆和音乐商店。我们认为，此类研究提供的见解可以为音乐数字图书馆搜索/浏览支持的发展提供信息。
At present, music digital library systems are being developed based on anecdotal evidence of user needs, intuitive feelings for user information seeking behavior, and a priori assumptions of typical usage scenarios. Emphasis has been placed on basic research into music document representation, efficient searching, and audio-based searching, rather than on exploring the music information needs or information behavior of a target user group. We focus on eliciting the 'native' music information strategies employed by people searching for popular music (that is, music sought for recreational or enjoyment purposes rather than to support a 'serious' or scientific exploration of some aspect of music). To this end, we conducted an ethnographic study of the searching/browsing techniques employed by people in the researchers' local communities, as they use two common sources of music: the public library and music stores. We argue that the insights provided by this type of study can inform the development of searching/browsing support for music digital libraries.
