Paper Abstract:
|
The first aim of this paper is to make a modeling framework of the interest area of a library patron by utilizing librarys circulation records. In other words, to profile a person with his/her interest field. Interest area profiling is not only interesting of itself but also useful for library when it chooses purchasing books, for professors when they give lectures, and for other people. The eventual goal of the study presented in this paper is to develop various data analysis methods that provide with useful tips in assisting people, including library patrons, as they learn. The second aim is to develop some useful analysis tools for such pedagogical purpose, especially for analyzing the library data and lecture data. In this paper we propose a concept of virtual faculty of a member of university, which is defined based on the interest area profile of a patron and a faculty. We also give a comparative study between patron and faculty. Even though the approach and analysis methods presented in this paper are in the primitive stage of the research toward this direction, they have a high potential and are expected to be developed to be matured and be practical in the future. |
