ABSTRACT:
This is a pre-publication version of a paper originally delivered at the 37th Allerton Institute on “How we do user-centered design and evaluation of digital libraries: A methodological forum,” held at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, October 31, 1995. The briefer published version contains most of the substantive content of the original conference paper. The intent was to provide a brief overview of Sense-Making Methodology (still in 1995 called the Sense-Making approach) and the importance of its metatheoretic assumptions for tackling a number of the problematics faced by those who design information systems and those who study their uses.
