Abstract

AbstractThe paper describes a study on art history students’ research behavior and needs connected to digital resources and repositories. It tries to identify aspects of and approaches to improving and developing these repositories. These students make up a large proportion of the users of digital libraries and their content; their supposedly distinct attitude and skill level concerning technology renders them an important group to observe. Qualitative data derives from three focus groups with 25 students from two German universities. Thematic analysis is based on questions concerning research approaches, curriculum, and the students’ connected desires as avid users of technology in everyday life.KeywordsDigital librariesArt historyHuman information behaviorQualitative researchUser study
