Abstract

User interface adaptations can be used to address several user interaction challenges in the development of digital library systems. To this end, this paper: (a) examines some of the intrinsic characteristics of digital library systems; (b) identifies some of the key Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) challenges; and (c) develops an argumentation for adaptations in digital library systems. By drawing parallels to recent work in HCI research into adaptable and adaptive user interaction, the paper illustrates potential areas in which user interface adaptation can provide a useful technique for advancing the quality of human interaction with a digital library system.
