“…HCI researchers have sought to bring the "unconscious aspects of [electricity consumption] to conscious awareness, thereby making them available for conscious choice" [27]. Pierce, Odom and Blevis [21], Froehlich, Findlater and Landay [11] and Pierce and Paulos [22] describe the various eco-visualization devices that have been constructed in order to make visible the flow of electrical energy and to highlight the amount of electricity consumed by a household.…”

Abstract.Although an enormous amount of research effort has been devoted to understanding people's energy consumption habits, visualizing their consumption and finding ways of motivating them towards more sustainable behaviours we are still in the dark with regards to people's basic perception of electricity, their concept of what electricity is and their notion of the consumption rates of various electrical devices. In this study we have employed a sketching methodology to elicit people's basic mental image of what electricity is, how they conceive of the electrical infrastructure in their home and which devices they think represent the largest drain on their wallets. Preliminary analysis of the results show that people do not have a clear mental model of electricity and tend to associate the size of the device and the duration of use with higher rates of consumption regardless of the type of device, the type of use it is put to and its actual consumption level.

“…In the context of the twenty-first-century information professional, this must surely include the design of information technologies that are used to build collections and organize and retrieve information objects. Calls for a "reflective designer" is an idea explored more fully by Sengers, Boehner, David, and Kaye (2005). The "reflective designer" is one who questions the limits of current design practice and understands the values, biases, and assumptions that the designer brings to the design process.…”

The purpose of this article is to survey the landscape of user-centered design in LIS. We begin the article by exploring the history of the "user-centered paradigm," looking first at the historical schism between behavioral science and computer science, and then surveying some of the methods of user-centered design. In the next section we present examples of technological artifacts that reflect the basic functions of information systems-artifacts designed to collect, organize, and retrieve information-as a way to present some of the difficulties and opportunities that surround the creations of user-centered design. Specifically, we look at how user-centered design relates to personal collections, social bookmarking, finding aids, Web interface design, information architecture, visualization systems, and personalization and adaptive search. The article then steps back and looks at design through the wider lens of values, asking the question, how are users represented (or misrepresented) through cultural, ethical, and political forces that influence information system design? The article concludes with a summary of the major issues to emerge from our survey of the current state of user-centered design and from this we extract some key lessons vis à vis research and teaching in LIS.

Design frictions, a term found in popular media articles about user experience design, refer to points of difficulty occurring during interaction with technology. Such articles often argue that these frictions should be removed from interaction flows in order to reduce the risk of user frustration and disengagement. In this paper we argue that, in many scenarios, designing friction into interactions through the introduction of microboundaries, can, in fact, have positive effects. Design frictions can disrupt "mindless" automatic interactions, prompting moments of reflection and more "mindful" interaction. The potential advantages of intentionally introduced frictions are numerous: from reducing the likelihood of errors in data-entry tasks, to supporting health-behaviour change.
