Open access archives, repositories, directories and
digital libraries spread widely as a result of technologic
interventions and a reaction to demanding and competitive
economical conditions. Although these innovative systems, that
challenge traditional structures of the publishing economy, have
rapidly developed, little significance has been given to the user
interaction within their frames. All system developments and
collection growth policies have been based on stakeholders’ view of
the information management; users’ participation in evaluation,
feedback and design is quite limited. Open access systems and their
acceptance is not solely based on the integrated technologies, the
innovative marketing policies and the economical convenient
schemes, but requires the complete support and acceptance by the
end users themselves. This presentation aims at providing a
user-centred looking glass to view, to assess and improve the
effectiveness of E-LIS’ usage. Based on an Interaction Evaluation
triptych framework this presentation introduces particular
user-centeredevaluation axes for E-LIS and correlates the
effective user interaction with its acceptance and
promotion.
