Comments

In 2012, InfoSci@ECU featured research by PhD student Pervaiz Ahmad on E-book Adoption in Academic and Research Libraries. This presentation introduced the methods of deep log analysis of EBL transaction logs in a case study academic library. In 2013 this research has moved on to how transaction log analysis can dynamically inform discovery services in library systems and to research university community perception of E-book services. In the last InfoSci@ECU seminar for 2013, Pervaiz will provide an update on his research addressing the themes of dynamic analysis of log behaviour as a means of shaping user experience and academic and student perceptions and attitudes to E-books.

Audience:

The seminar will be of interest to LIS practitioners interested in E-book adoption and the use of data mining techniques with transaction logs.
