“…Although a number of researchers 1),29),34), 41) indicated that social software is the promising way for facilitating information sharing, it still left the challenge to develop more effective information system to support scientific communities. In the context of scientific communities, researches need the effective information system not only for facilitating their information gathering but also for their reference management and distributed collaboration.…”

Scientific researchers need support for their information gathering from the Web, because the growth of Internet accessibility raises the problem of Internet information overload. Social Bookmarking Service (SBS) is a promising technology to solve the problem by the benefit of collaborative information gathering. The paper describes the design and evaluation of a novel function of SBS to foster collaborative information gathering by providing mutual awareness information about browsing behaviors of SBS users. This information increases the probabilities of discovering the useful information by recommending the potential collaborators to the user. A case study on an experimental SBS was performed to evaluate the feasibility of the mutual awareness information for individuals and research communities. In order to verify the validity of the design quantitatively, an experiment was conducted using agent-based simulation based on an extension of the SIR model for epidemics. The results, either from the case study or the agent-based simulation, argue the effectiveness of the proposed function to provide mutual awareness information for fostering collaborative information gathering in SBS.

“…The fact that the same resource has been tagged by more users allows for drawing connections between various users' collections and mutually tagged resources. The process thereby supports knowledge discovery, tag suggestion and insight into resource popularity, as well as interests and trends of users and communities (Zauder et al, 2007). Second, collaborative annotation is user-centred.…”

“…Collaborative annotation, also known as social annotation, is the process by which web users use keywords or other natural language text to categorize, describe, comment or rate information resources online (Su et al, 2010). Through sharing the annotated information resources, Web users can collaboratively organize and retrieve the resources, obtain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the resources and create special interest groups around the resources (Zauder et al, 2007). Ever since the launch of the social cataloguing site LibraryThing in 2005, collaborative annotations on books have been increasingly popular on a variety of social community sites, such as Shelfari and Goodreads (Zhuang and Wu, 2012).…”

Purpose – Based on the study of overall situation of the tagging function in the provincial public libraries and library of major colleges and universities, this paper aims to examine the difference of tagging behaviour of its users in library and social community sites. The authors also want to understand the causes of a variety of annotation behavior in social community sites and libraries. Design/methodology/approach – The authors collected all system log data of tags, comments and ratings users added in Wuhan University library, and then found the tags, comments and rating of corresponding books in Douban. Then, the authors did questionnaire survey to the Wuhan University students. Findings – The authors found that the annotation service in the library is not perfect as that in social community site. Enthusiasm of users annotating books in the library is far less high than that on the social community sites. Lack of understanding of the annotation service is the main reason why users are not concerned or do not use the tagging service. But users have the needs of the organization of personal information in the library using tags. Originality/value – This paper investigated the library users’ behavior in the using library OPAC course and compared the difference of annotation behavior between library and social community site.

“…Bookmarking applications, such as Reddit, enable users to collect their favourite resources in an online, open environment, which others are free to read and use (Zauder, Lazic & Zorica, 2007). Most of these services also provide tagging features.…”

“…To elaborate, users can subscribe to specific tags,to receive an updated list by any user with the same tag. This can be useful if one is trying to follow what is happening in a specific area (Zauder et al, 2007). Furthermore, when users add a resource to their bookmark lists, users can also see who more added that same bookmark to their collection.…”

Writing this acknowledgement marks the end of journey I thought I would never take. I thought a PhD was only for the smartest of people. Now I know that it's not about intellect. It's about willpower, discipline and perseverance. I also know it's a journey that you can't finish on your own. Asking for help and support has never been my strongest point. I have been so fortunate to have had people who o↵ered help when I needed it, who provided me with a listening ear, and most important who kept on pushing me to finish my PhD and remind me that quitting was just not an option. The list is too long to mention everyone by name, but there are some people that I would like to thank explicitly.First, I would like to thank my supervisors Aard Groen and Fons Wijnhoven for keeping up with me and believing in me. Aard, I must have made a good impression when I sold your daughter a phone. After you realized that I was the sales lady, you still o↵ered me a PhD position at NIKOS. Thank you for taking me on board! On a more serious note, you gave me the freedom to explore possible research topics. You encouraged me to network with others, to talk to entrepreneurs, and to find a daily supervisor whom I believed could provide me the guidance and supervision I needed.Fons, I sincerely do not know how you kept up with me. In our meetings you forced me to challenge my own thinking. You never TOLD me to do anything. You only asked guiding questions so that I could articulate my ideas more clearly. You always made time to read my work and to provide detailed feedback. Whenever I got stuck, I isolated myself to solve the issue myself. It never took long before you mailed me, or came by vii my o ce to ask how things were going, and to suggest to have a meeting. When I left the University to go back to practice, you always stayed in touch to ensure that I would have my eyes on the ball: finishing my PhD. Fons, you went above and beyond to get me where I am now and I will be forever grateful for that.Michel Ehrenhard, you have been a key player in my PhD journey. It was you who convinced me to consider a PhD, and it was you who introduced me to Fons. I think it's only fitting that you have an important role in the final stage of my PhD journey as a member of my graduation committee.A PhD can sometimes be a lonely journey. I would like to thank Gabi, Raja, Arjan, Ellen, Björn, Niels and Martin for the fun times. I loved our weekend trip to Texel, training for and running the Berlin Marathon with Niels (and Jasper), our Christmas dinner, and other get-to-gathers. Although we had our own projects, it made me feel as if we were a team working towards the same objective: finishing our PhD.I would also like to thank those who were not directly involved in the PhD trajectory, but were very important to me. Starting with Leni and Frans. You have seen me develop from a baby to an adult. You were always there for me during the happy times and the bad times. You provided me with advice and guidance, helped me study for my statistics exams, and were ...
