ECDL 2009 is taking place this week, and those of us who could not make it to Corfu will have to settle for the island experience of the Second (Life) Kind. Just as JCDL 2009 did earlier this summer, the ECDL 2009 Poster Session is available for viewing online through SecondLife. The real Poster Session will take place Monday, September 28th, (7-9pm EET, 12:00-14:00 EST, 9-11am PDT), with a parallel session in SecondLife that will continue long after the real one ends.
The complete list of posters is available here; I am looking forward to “Improving annotations in digital documents,” “Searching in a book,” and “Workspace narrative exploration: overcoming interruption-caused context loss in information seeking tasks.”
There are some interesting papers at ECDL as well, including
- “Annotation search: the FAST way” by Nicola Ferro
- “Chance encounters in the digital library” by Elaine Toms and Lori Mccay-Peet
- “Comparing Google to Ask-a-librarian service for answering factual and topical questions” by Pertti Vakkari and Mari Taneli
- “Evaluation in context” by Jaap Kamps, Mounia Lalmas and Birger Larsen
- “Exploratory web searching with dynamic taxonomies and results clustering” by Panagiotis Papadakos, Stella Kopidaki, Nikos Armenatzoglou and Yannis Tzitzikas
