Each group did not use all of the items that were on the index cards. In taking a look at how each group categorized the items on the index cards it is apparent that even though they thought they understood what a term meant in reality this was not the case. This can be seen by taking a look at the visual representation of the categories created by group 3. This group created two categories called AskUs 24\/7 and Films on Demand. Films on Demand is a database the college libraries subscribe too and AskUs 24\/7 is a chat based service.<\/p>\n
The categories that group three created are the most difficult to understand. This group started with the main category of ‘Libraries’ and all items when appear under this main category. Under the category ‘Library’ the categories ‘Contact Us’ and ‘Ask Us 24\/7’ would appear. The rest of the categories are placed underneath the heading ‘Ask Us 24\/7’.<\/p>\n
Group 3 Results<\/h4>\n
