Abstract

Recently, we have witnessed an overwhelming amount of information to be available in digital libraries and, in particular, on the Internet, however, the design of search engines and sitespecific navigation interfaces lacks the human knowledge searching perspective. Typically, the technical design does not pay attention to human search strategies. Without better understanding and evaluating how humans search for knowledge, most electronic information on Internet is never retrieved, or is retrieved in a misunderstanding or misinterpreting way. This is of particular concern in the development of live critical applications, such as medical digital libraries. Understanding how healthcare professionals search for knowledge in the National electronic Library of Infection (NeLI) www.neli.org.uk and improving the search and navigation design of this national project applying deferred system design principles is the main aim of this research project.
