The Role of Ethnography in the Design and Implementation of IT Systems
2009
Design Principles and Practices: An International Journal
Ethnographic workplace studies in design tend to focus on the existing work practices either to inform the initial design of new information technology (IT) systems or as studies evaluating work practices ...
However, ethnography may also prove efficient in identifying, analyzing, and evaluating changes in work practices that emerge from using the IT system as part of the design and implementation of this system ...
For large IT systems, ethnography has traditionally been used in two different ways: (1) analyzing the existing work practices (prior to system implementation), in order to inform a subsequent design and ...

Ethnomethodologically informed ethnography and information system design
2000
Journal of the American Society for Information Science
The paper describes ethnomethodologically informed ethnography (EM) as a methodology for information science research, illustrating the approach with the results of a study in a university library. ...
We outline our approach to the 'ethnographically informed' development of information systems in addressing some of the major problems of interdisciplinary work between system designers and EM researchers ...

Scholarship and practice: the contribution of ethnographic research methods to bridging the gap
1995
Information Technology and People
Information systems (IS) is a field which has multiple stakeholders in its knowledge development, operating in contexts which have to deal with multiplicity, cross-linkage, diversity and continually emerging ...
The purpose of the article is to show how ethnographic research methods can generate knowledge which is useful to both practice and scholarship. ...
Information systems design is separated into software design practices, database design and development practices, human computer interface design areas, and systems configuration areas of concern. ...

Proceedings of the second ACM international conference on Digital libraries - DL '97
We present the case for the contribution of such studies to the development of digital library technology to support the practices of information-searching. ...
We describe the use of ethnomethodologically-informed ethnography as a means of informing the requirements elicitation, design, development and evaluation of digital libraries. ...
We thank John Hughes and Lou Armour for their methodological insights into categorisation work. This work was funded by the British Library Research and Innovation Centre. ...

Knowledge worker tasks in system architecture
2019
Informatyka Ekonomiczna
In that domain, Design Science Research (DSR) is discussed as being very useful and adopted in this paper for knowledge management. ...
Therefore main goal is to present system architecture models for knowledge management in information science domain. ...
Therefore this paper proposes that knowledge system design studies are embedded in pragmatism and the practice theory. ...

The ethnographic tradition and design
2000
Design Studies
Recent studies of collaborative work systems informed by ethnomethodology have exposed the shortcomings of classical ethnography, and have shifted the emphasis of fieldwork towards describing the accountable ...
However, a second wave of fieldwork-based studies of work systems and design is now gaining force that threatens to dilute this analytic emphasis. ...
Inevitably, it is necessary for the designer of collaborative work systems to gain some knowledge of the nature of the work that their systems will support. ...

Studying technology use as social practice: the untapped potential of ethnography
2011
BMC Medicine
We suggest that while experimental and quasi-experimental studies have an important place in health informatics research overall, ethnography is the preferred methodological approach for studying ICTs ...
and the deterministic experimental and quasi-experimental study designs which follow from these assumptions, have inherent limitations when ICTs are part of complex social practices involving multiple ...
Acknowledgements and funding The empirical work which inspired this paper was funded by a research grant from the UK Medical Research Council (Healthcare Electronic Records in Organisations, 07/133) and ...
