现代数字图书馆不仅拥有丰富的数字资源，还需要提供一个集馆藏提供、信息服务和学术活动为一体的环境，以支持有效的学习。这项工作表明，数字图书馆支持的电子学习产生了出色的学习绩效。关于信息架构对学习绩效的影响，本研究发现组织体系对学习绩效至关重要。此外，不同学习绩效的学习者在使用数字图书馆信息架构时表现出不同的行为。另一个发现是全局学习者的学习表现优于顺序学习者。全局学习者和学习绩效优等者更依赖于组织系统，而顺序学习者和学习绩效劣等者更依赖于搜索系统。(C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Modern digital libraries not only contain rich digital resources, they are also required to provide an environment which integrates collection provision, information services, and academic activities to support effective learning. This work chose the Digital Library of Nature and Culture established by the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan to investigate whether the design of the information architecture of a digital library influences learning performance and whether learners with different learning styles have different information usage behaviors and learning performance when they use the digital library to support e-learning. This work suggested that e-learning supported by a digital library resulted in excellent learning performance. Regarding the influence of information architecture on learning performance, this work found that the organization system was crucial to learning performance. Further, learners with different learning performance exhibit different behaviors when they use the information architecture of the digital library. Another finding was that the learning performance of global learners was better than that of sequential learners. Global learners and those learners with superior learning performance relied more heavily on the organization system, while sequential learners and those learners with inferior learning performance relied more heavily on the search system.
