Paper Abstract:
|
Starting from the assumption that an integration of digital services might help brick-and-mortar bookstores to compete with online sellers, we propose a recommender system which takes into account not only content-based similarity of books, but also local availability and spatial distance. This article addresses work in progress; its focus is on a particular question tightly connected to the user interface design of such a system: how to communicate results from these different information sources to a customer in a transparent way. We contribute to this topic with several design proposals and a discussion of feedback collected in a user study. |
