Using Crowdsourcing to Construct Special Collection Resources Under the Perspective of Digital Humanities

摘要

This paper builds on the Fogg behavior model to explore the factors that drive users' participation in special collection resources crowdsourcing. Factors underlying the dimensions of motivation, ability and triggers are identified. This paper further explores the changes of the role of motivation, ability and trigger in initial and sustained participation. The results show that motivation and trigger are high in initial participation, and motivation and ability are high in sustained participation. The reasons for such change are further discussed. This study concludes with a discussion of theoretical and practical implications.
