Abstract
This paper presents the design and long-term study of BiebBeep, a
large interactive touchscreen that has been developed with the aim
to augment the information and social function of a library.
BiebBeep displays user-generated and context-relevant content,
such as information about local events and book trailers. The
system’s distinctive feature is that people can add information to
the screen themselves, such as tweets and Flickr photos, so that
the library and its visitors can inform and connect with each other.
For more than a year, the BiebBeep system has been iterated and
studied in the library. The research approach presented is an
exemplar of the study of a public screen in situ for long-term to
best meet the demands for its actual use in present and future.
