Relevance Judging, Evaluation, and Decision Making in Virtual Libraries: A Descriptive Study

摘要

This study explored higher-order thinking processes in undergraduates using a virtual library. Ten undergradu- ates pursuing topics pertaining to their academic work were interviewed and observed as they used GALILEO (GeorgiA Library Learning Online, a virtual library con- taining many scholarly databases). Specifically, the study focused on relevance judging, evaluation (critical thinking), and decision making.
