The investigation examines several areas, including image needs, information\u2010seeking strategies, information queries, search functions, display formats, and human\u2010computer interaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The six participating museums are in Washington, DC, and the states of California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio. The investigator interviewed 35 museum practitioners in various departments at the six museums about their image sources, search behaviors, and use of images.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Wide variations and internal conflicts exist among curators, IT staff, slide librarians, registrars' offices, educational staff, faculty, and photographers. Museum practitioners' knowledge and expertise should inform the design and presentation of digital images of museum collections as well as the images' relationships with the construction of digital museums.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>Digital technologies have pushed museum practitioners to initiate organizational changes to accommodate the effects of technology. Museums' digital images and their relevant information are the foundation of the digital museums. Museums must incorporate a re\u2010examination of their roles in the digital age. An ideal digital museum is not just an online version of the museum, if that is achievable, or an online catalog of museum collections with pictures. It is also a resource that must be founded upon museum practitioners' expertise and professional practices.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/02640470710729092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,28]],"date-time":"2007-02-28T13:09:40Z","timestamp":1172668180000},"page":"18-35","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["A socio\u2010technical perspective of museum practitioners' image\u2010using behaviors"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Hsin\u2010Liang","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022032020164567000_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Agre, P.E.
