Abstract
The popularity of eye-tracking in studies of human-computer interaction is increasing. Eye-tracking has been used in various studies of information systems, while its narrower use in bibliographic information systems such as digital libraries and library catalogues is still rare. With the equipment becoming relatively affordable, eye tracking is more interesting to a broader circle of researchers and information system designers. For bibliographic information systems, the method has potential in the Linked Data environment for both designing better user experience in general and developing improved search capabilities and display of results in particular. In addition to mastering the hardware and software, it is important to understand what (which measures and analysis) is meaningful and which aspects of user behaviour and user experience can be studied with eye tracking. It is also essential to know which information can only be obtained by eye tracking and which can be the result of combining it with other methods. In the proposed project we will focus on use and usability of eye tracking for the design of improved bibliographic information systems. Our theoretical analysis will be combined with several user studies in order to answer the following three central questions: How can eye tracking be used to design bibliographic information systems? How does the eye tracking data complement or compare with data obtained by other methods? How can behaviour of users of bibliographic information systems be studied using eye tracking? In addition to identifying usage scenarios and insights into the use of eye tracking, our research will also investigate local bibliographic information systems using the eye tracking method, which will be a novelty in Slovenia.
