Abstract:
For any user-adaptive system the most important task is to provide the users with what they want and need without them asking for it explicitly. This process can be called personalisation and is done by tailoring the service or product for individual users or user groups. In this thesis, we explore the possibilities to build a model that clusters users based on the user’s photo library. This was to create a better personalised experience within a service called Degoo. The model used to perform the clustering is called Deep Embedding Clustering and was evaluated on several internal indices alon

博士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>圖書資訊學研究所<br>96<br>Library-oriented or objective evaluation and user-oriented or subjective evaluation are two major approaches to evaluate library service quality. However, less is known about the relationship between the results of the two evaluation approaches, particularly about the effects of library contexts on users’ subjective evaluation. The present study employs a combination of library- and user-oriented evaluation approaches to develop an integrated evaluation model of library service quality with multi-level and multi-dimension. Based on this evaluation model, the p

Abstract:
Libraries are filled with indistinct landmarks, such as rows of identical bookshelves, which make it difficult for patrons to navigate and locate books. Call numbers are the primary resource that can be utilized while locating books, and these consist of letters and digits that are incomprehensible to many library users. With libraries increasingly offering both physical and digital resources and mobile devices being more common, we aimed to investigate the potential for mobile devices to assist in locating books within the complex physical spaces of libraries.

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>圖書資訊學系<br>88<br>Library information service is different from the so-called "service" in the traditional sense. "Supply" is not the ultimate end of library information service; it is the means. Thus emerged such currently prevailing topics for study and forms for practical services as "library instruction" and "user education". In earlier days, library user education focused mainly on the introduction of library skills. It is due to the advent of the information technology that the library users need to equip themselves with the skills to use computers, internets and some other h

However, due to difficulty of questionnaire design, low recycle rate and difficulty of statistics analysis and explanation, the results obtained from questionnaire cannot show the real users’ satisfaction. Moreover, as the questionnaire method cannot provide the on-line users’ satisfaction, the librarians cannot deal with the related service problems immediately. On the contra
