Do You Believe in Magic? Exploring the Conceptualization of Augmented Reality and its Implications for the User in the Field оf Library and Information Science

Аннотация

Augmented reality (AR) technology has implications for the ways that the field of library and information science (LIS) serves users and organizes information. Through content analysis, the author examined how AR is conceptualized within a sample of LIS literature from the Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA) database and Google Blogs postings. The author also examined whether Radical Change Theory (RCT) and the digital-age principles of interactivity, connectivity, and access are present in the discussion of this technology.
