yet another another new line of research
as administration continues to suck away my creative life
an increasing focus and work in information behavior, way beyond “user studies” of old and previous studies of user makeovers and behavior of information
perhaps there’s something more, that this work is missing
an idea suggested by session at this very conference
acknowledgement of contribution of Fisher et al (2005-6)

review of the literature
in this case, my own; research on several key populations
twins (1993)chimpanzees (1994)space aliens (1997)psychics (1999)the dead (????)the undead (????)it all seems to be pointing me towards one
question

conceptual framework
important concepts“alive”“dead”“freshly dead” (M. Brooks, 1974)
![Page 18: Users: Dead, Alive and Otherwise SIG CON 2005 Joseph Janes Associate Professor Associate Dean for Academics The Information School of the University of](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6b5503460f94a4af1c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
freshly dead
![Page 19: Users: Dead, Alive and Otherwise SIG CON 2005 Joseph Janes Associate Professor Associate Dean for Academics The Information School of the University of](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6b5503460f94a4af1c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
less freshly dead
![Page 20: Users: Dead, Alive and Otherwise SIG CON 2005 Joseph Janes Associate Professor Associate Dean for Academics The Information School of the University of](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6b5503460f94a4af1c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
conceptual framework
important concepts“alive”“dead”“freshly dead” (M. Brooks, 1974)“mostly dead”
![Page 21: Users: Dead, Alive and Otherwise SIG CON 2005 Joseph Janes Associate Professor Associate Dean for Academics The Information School of the University of](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6b5503460f94a4af1c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“mostly dead”
Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him.
Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk. Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so
much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What's that? Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for
loose change. (W. Goldman, 1985)

research question
RQ1: is the user dead?
![Page 23: Users: Dead, Alive and Otherwise SIG CON 2005 Joseph Janes Associate Professor Associate Dean for Academics The Information School of the University of](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6b5503460f94a4af1c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
methodology
ask themSs were 150 “entities” using
information systemssimple survey instrument1 Q“Are you alive?”little need to operationalize concepts,
seems pretty straightforward
![Page 24: Users: Dead, Alive and Otherwise SIG CON 2005 Joseph Janes Associate Professor Associate Dean for Academics The Information School of the University of](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6b5503460f94a4af1c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
results
Are you alive?115 Yes33 N/R2 Noencouraging, but….could be a response bias, social
desirability effect

follow-up survey
[applied for IMLS grant funding, $200,000]
[positive support for grant, but concern by agency not asking for enough, encouraged to reapply]
resurveyed same sample, n = 1501 Q“Are you dead?”

results
Are you dead?92 No36 N/R2 Yesconsistency, further evidence that most
users are generally alivesome dropouts thomortality effect?

more evidence needed
follow up with a qualitative/naturalistic approach, try to get more in-depth data, further insight into experience of “entities” using systems
participant observationbootranscription of commentarydrawbacks to methodological approach,
refinement under consideration

further research suggested
appears to be a particularly fertile area once you get going
RQ: Are people who study “users” alive?preliminary investigation, unobtrusive
observationrelevant sessions at 2005 ASIS conferencejury still outfurther investigation required, perhaps at
the bar
