“…Sundqvist (2015) reviewed 36 such studies identifying Duff and Yakel as most prolific authors with five publications each. Also Huvila (2008) found that the empirical approach to studying archival users has strengthened in the 2000's, sometimes focusing on the more usual expert user groups, such as historians (Duff, 2002;Duff & Johnson, 2002;Tibbo, 2002;Toms & Duff, 2002;Duff, Craig, & Cherry, 2004) and sometimes turning attention to non-experts, such as children (Gilliland-Swetland, 1998;Gilliland-Swetland, Kafai, & Landis, 1999) or administrative workers (Yakel & Bost, 1994;Kostiainen, Valtonen & Vakkari, 2003). Vilar andŠauperl (2014) also warn about a lack of serious systematic investigation of types, characteristics, needs and behavior of archival users -all of which should be taken into account when developing digital collections or contemplating archivistic competences.…”
