Soft Systems Methodology: An Inclusive Informatics Re-Design Approach for a New Economy
(2014) ISTI (Information Systems & Technology Information) 5th International Conference on Information Systems & Technology Innovations: projecting trends in a New Economy- Abstract
- The research study focuses on the application of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) to develop a collaborative user-centered approach within the context of organizational learning, and concludes with suggestions of further research. More specifically, it explores library users’ and academic librarians’ ideal characteristics for the library discovery and access services mediated through the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) of the Academic Library of the School of Philosophy at Athens University in Greece.

Recommendations discuss the efficacy of this approach, which expresses systems thinking and guides... (More)
