Evaluation Of Interactive Function Of Orientational Information System In Academic Libraries

In recent years,with the rapid development of the mobile Internet,people's lifestyles and learning habits have undergone tremendous changes,and such changes are particularly prominent among young people.New generation of information users have become a new force in the university campus.The entry education for freshmen is a work that must be carried out by academic libraries every year,and it is an important part of the reader service of in academic libraries.The traditional entry education focuses on the use of training lectures,field visits and dissemination of promotional materials.Due to the short training process and the number is large,the librarians are unable to answer each freshman's question in time.It is difficult for new students to digest a large amount of training contents,which makes it difficult to achieve the expected results of training and field visits.In order to meet the information needs of the new generation of information users,most academic libraries use the orientational information system to carry out the entry education and information literacy education for the new generation of information users.With the advantages of autonomy,flexibility and interactivity,the orientational information system has become a new choice for academic libraries to carry out the information literacy education under the network environment.However,the current research on the evaluation of academic libraries in China is mostly holistic research,focusing on the construction of evaluation principles and the setting of indicators.There is less research and practice on the evaluation of the entry education and its information system.There is less research on evaluating the orientational information system from the perspective of system interaction.As the “first door” for communication between freshmen and academic libraries,it is necessary to evaluate its interactive functions from the perspective of users,and to provide reference for further designing of the orientational information system that is more in line with the needs of the new generation of information users.Based on the evaluation of interactive function of digital library,this paper draws on the evaluation scales for digital library evaluation,combining the characteristics of the orientational information system in academic libraries and the learning needs of users,refining and interpreting relevant evaluation indicators,and constructs the evaluation index of the interactive function of orientational information system in academic libraries.The indicator is based on the system utility,structure of the website and information organization,availability of information content,page performance,usability,perception of subjective tasks,system performance and efficiency,evaluating the interaction between users(mainly the new generation of information users)and the orientational information system in academic libraries.The main content of this study is divided into six parts.The first part is the preface,focusing on the research background and research significance of this paper,briefly expounding the content and research methods of this research,and proposing the innovation of this paper.The second part is the literature review,which mainly introduces the concept definition and information behavior characteristics of the new generation of information users and the research status of the entry education for freshmen in academic libraries in China.The third part is the evaluation index of the interactive function of orientational information system in academic libraries.The fourth part is the experimental research on the interactive function of orientational information system in academic libraries.The fifth part is the data analysis of the experimental research.The sixth part is the conclusion and outlook.Data analysis showed that the orientational information system in academic libraries can learn from the experience of interactive function design of information system in the digital library field.The interactive function design of orientational information system in academic libraries needs to pay attention to the difference of user groups,enrich the application of new media resources,and improve the efficiency of information feedback.
