JCDL 2003 Workshop: Cross-Cultural Usability for Digital
Libraries
May 31, 2003
Rice University, Houston
http://www.fis.utoronto.ca/faculty/caidi/JCDL03.html
OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES:
The scope and reach of digital libraries (DL) is truly global, spanning
geographical and cultural boundaries, yet few scholars have investigated the
influence of culture as it pertains to the design and use of digital
libraries.
This workshop will examine cross-cultural issues around the use and
development of DLs, especially as they relate to
Supporting usability of DLs. This workshop brings together researchers from
a variety of disciplines to present current projects and contribute to a
collaborative research agenda.
The goals of the workshop are:
1- to increase awareness about the area of cross-cultural usability in the
digital library community;
2- to identify new tools, techniques and methodologies for cross-cultural
study of user behavior in DLs and international user interface design;
3- to provide a forum for generating new research directions and cross-
disciplinary collaboration.
