这项观察性研究调查了人们在工作场所组织网络信息以供重复使用的方法。除了网络浏览器提供的书签和历史列表工具外,我们研究中观察到的人们还使用各种其他方法和相关工具。例如,几个参与者通过电子邮件向自己和他人发送带有评论的网址(URL)沿着。观察到的其他方法包括打印网页、将网页保存到硬盘驱动器、将网页地址粘贴到文档中以及将地址粘贴到个人网站中。根据人们在工作场所的角色以及他们与所收集信息的关系,人们之间出现了差异。例如,管理人员严重依赖电子邮件来收集和传播信息,而对网络的直接探索相对较少。功能分析有助于解释人与人之间“保持”行为的差异,并解释观察到的方法的总体多样性。人们根据他们在工作场所的角色和他们必须执行的任务,在他们所需要的功能方面有所不同;他们提供的功能的方法也有很大的不同。功能分析还有助于评估各种现有和拟议工具的可能成功。
This observational study investigates the methods people use in their workplace to organize web information for re-use. In addition to the bookmarking and history list tools provided by web browsers, people observed in our study used a variety of other methods and associated tools. For example, several participants emailed web addresses (URLs) along with comments to themselves and to others. Other methods observed included printing out web pages, saving web pages to the hard drive, pasting the address for a web page into a document and pasting the address into a personal web site. Differences emerged between people according to their workplace role and their relationship to the information they were gathering. Managers, for example, depended heavily on email to gather and disseminate information and did relatively little direct exploration of the Web. A functional analysis helps to explain differences in “keeping” behavior between people and to explain the overall diversity of methods observed. People differ in the functions they require according to their workplace role and the tasks they must perform; methods vary widely in the functions they provide. The functional analysis can also help to assess the likely success of various tools, current and proposed.
