E-Browsing: Serendipity and questions of Access and Discovery

Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 3:10 PM–3:55 PM CDT

Room 204

Conference Track

5. User Experience

Keywords

browsing, serendipity

Learning Objectives

Following this session, participants will be able to: articulate the role of electronic browsing in the research and discovery process,

identify aspects of physical browsing that need to be incorporated into electronic browsing environments.

Abstract

Browsing is an essential component to discovery. Examining the works of scientists, social scientists, and humanists through the lens of discovery reveals essential components of e-browsing environments. We focus on the language and experience of browsing, particularly serendipitous discovery, to encourage librarians to effectively articulate concerns and opportunities to developers.
