Module name[edit | edit source]

Personalization

Scope[edit | edit source]

This module addresses Personalization standards that may be appropriate in the context of a DL, along with its’ approaches, effects, limitations, and challenges.


Learning objectives:[edit | edit source]

By the end of this module, the student will be able to:

a. Have a clear understanding of what Personalization is and how it can affect Digital Libraries
b. Understand various personalization approaches
c. Understand the limitations and challenges of Personalization


5S characteristics of the module:[edit | edit source]

a. Society: Where all other personalization dimensions would be organized or targeted for particular societies of users, e.g., incorporation and adaptation of specialized services for librarians, professors, and students in a digital library of theses and dissertations
b. Scenarios: Like scenario re-design, by introducing new functions and interaction techniques, e.g., navigation by context, or by specializing existing ones, e.g., changes in syntax and parameters for searching
c. Spaces: Such as mappings between different spaces (e.g., from vector space models to probabilistic ones) for interoperability or reduction of dimensionality for providing better search services (e.g., with Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI))
d. Structures: Including restructuring, reduction, or other transformations over classification systems, ontologies, internal structures of documents, etc
e. Stream: Which could include, in the case of textual streams, translations of language and conversion of encodings, or, in the case of multimedia data, possible conversions between formats according to a user's platform


Level of effort required:[edit | edit source]

a. In class: 1.25 hours
b. Outside of class: 2-3 hours for readings


Relationships with other modules:[edit | edit source]

a. 6-d: Interaction design, usability assessment
i. Personalization could affect the usability of a digital library
b. 9-c: DL evaluation, user studies
i. Personalization can affect a user’s opinion of a DL and have an impact on the user studies

Prerequisite knowledge required:[edit | edit source]

a. Students will not be expected to have had prior training in personalization.
