Users' trust in information resources in the Web environment: a status report
This study has three aims; to provide an overview of the ways in which trust is either assessed or asserted in relation to the use and provision of resources in the Web environment for research and learning; to assess what solutions might be worth further investigation and whether establishing ways to assert trust in academic information resources could assist the development of information literacy; to help increase understanding of how perceptions of trust influence the behaviour of information users

Towards Design Theory for Accessible IT Artefacts
Accessibility in the use of information technology (IT) artefacts, such as websites, applications, and user interfaces, means that they are designed in such a way that people with the broadest range of abilities can use them. However, although accessibility is a human right, IT artefacts often remain inaccessible. Aside from the available accessibility guidelines, we need sufficient design theories that explicitly state how accessibility should be addressed and designed to develop accessible IT artefacts for all users.
This dissertation summarises four articles that address this problem. These studies are conducted with qualitative approaches that include a narrative literature review, a systematic literature review and a design science method comprising a participatory design and interviews. The first article develops an explaining theory of accessibility to gain an understanding of the construct of accessibility, showing possible variables of human abilities, tasks and contexts and their relationships in IT use. The second article illustrates the factors in management, development, user, and IT artefact features, including the roles and actions that these domains have and how they affect the realisation of accessibility. The other two articles contribute to accessibility guidance to improve and support content creatorsâ text production and writing process of accessible online text in the web context.
The dissertation underscores three key determinants of the knowledge of accessibility: (1) assumptions of usersâ abilities; (2) usersâ actual needs; and (3) factors in the development chain. The foregoing factors contribute to the knowledge of accessibility and would help researchers, particularly design scientists, form prescriptive knowledge for practitioners to achieve accessible IT artefacts. Thus, researchers could better identify the variables, relationships and affecting factors in human abilities, management, development, content creation, tasks, and contexts that need to be addressed when designing IT artefacts for certain tasks and use contexts.Informaatioteknologia-artefaktien (IT-artefaktien), kuten verkkosivustojen, sovellusten ja kĂ€yttöliittymien saavutettavuus tarkoittaa sitĂ€, ettĂ€ ihmiset erilaisine ominaisuuksineen ja kykyineen voivat kĂ€yttÀÀ niitĂ€. Vaikka saavutettavuus on ihmisoikeus, IT-artefaktit eivĂ€t kuitenkaan ole aina saavutettavia. KĂ€ytettĂ€vissĂ€ olevista saavutettavuusohjeista huolimatta tarvitsemme suunnitteluteorioita, jotka ohjaavat IT-artefaktien suunnittelua, jotta niistĂ€ tulisi saavutettavia kaikille IT-artefaktin kĂ€yttĂ€jille.
TÀmÀ vÀitöskirja on yhteenveto neljÀstÀ artikkelista, jotka kÀsittelevÀt tÀtÀ ongelmaa. Tutkimukset ovat tehty laadullisilla menetelmillÀ, joihin on sisÀltynyt narratiivinen kirjallisuuskatsaus, systemaattinen kirjallisuuskatsaus sekÀ suunnittelutieteellinen menetelmÀ sisÀltÀen osallistavan suunnittelun ja haastattelut. EnsimmÀisessÀ artikkelissa kehitetÀÀn kuvaileva saavutettavuuden teoria, jolla saadaan kÀsitys saavutettavuuden rakenteesta ja joka nÀyttÀÀ mahdolliset muuttujat ihmisen kyvyissÀ, tehtÀvissÀ ja konteksteissa, sekÀ niiden vÀliset suhteet. Toinen artikkeli kuvaa saavutettavuuteen vaikuttavia tekijöitÀ johtamisen, kehityksen, kÀyttÀjÀn ja IT-artefaktin ominaisuuksien nÀkökulmista, mukaan lukien roolit ja toimenpiteet, joita nÀillÀ kohteilla on. Kaksi muuta artikkelia kehittÀvÀt ohjeistuksen sisÀllöntuottajien työn tueksi saavutettavan verkkotekstin tuottamiseksi.
VÀitöskirjassa esitetÀÀn kolme ratkaisevaa tekijÀÀ saavutettavuuden tietÀmyksessÀ: (1) olettamukset kÀyttÀjien kyvyistÀ (2) kÀyttÀjien todelliset tarpeet ja (3) tekijÀt kehitysketjussa. NÀiden tekijöiden tuntemus auttaa erityisesti suunnittelutieteilijöitÀ muodostamaan ohjaavaa tietoa ammattilaisille saavutettavien IT-artefaktien saavuttamiseksi. TÀten tutkijat voivat paremmin tunnistaa muuttujat, niiden vÀliset suhteet ja saavutettavuuteen vaikuttavat tekijÀt, jotka liittyvÀt kÀyttÀjÀn kykyihin, johtamiseen, kehittÀmiseen, sisÀllöntuottamiseen, tehtÀviin ja kontekstiin, kun IT-artefaktia suunnitellaan tiettyÀ tehtÀvÀÀ ja kÀyttökontekstia varten.fi=vertaisarvioitu|en=peerReviewed

Course Manual - National Workshop on Effective Management of E-Resources in Research Libraries
The National Workshop on âEffective Management of EResources
in Research Libraries" is the first of its kind organised by the Library &
Documentation Centre of ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi.
Periodic trainings on newer technologies developed in the field of Library & Information
Sciences help library professionals to enhance their professional competencies that will
contribute largely to the output of the parent organization.
Digital repositories are the need of the hour where the Institute can showcase the
research findings. ICAR-CMFRI is a pioneer in developing Institute repository and the
open access repository of the Institute "eprints@cmfri" now stands 1st among ICAR
Institute repositories, 3rd among Indian repositories and 343rd among the world
repositories. Topics of current relevance towards development and modernisation of
research libraries are included in the Workshop which is expected to help the
participants to understand the possibilities and ways of supporting the research
activities of the parent Institution more effectively
