Description
type:text
The term, “browsing” is regularly used in various situations. Hence it is important that anyconsideration of the meaning of the term “browsing” must not be restricted within the range oflibrary and information science. , ln this study, descriptions of “browsing” are collected and examined. Such descriptions arecitations from: English dictionaries; newspaper articles in English and Japanese; lnternetarticles in English and Japanese; and papers in Japanese on subjects other than library andinformation science. These sources show that the term is now used in a much broader sense than its original oneof “to eat plants”. The term is even used with audio data, chance and information in general asits object. This is due to the fact that the concept of the object of “browsing” has broadenedfrom one prototype “eating” while retaining the common factor of “to select what one needsfrom many”. As a result, it was found that anything can now be the object of browsing, insofaras it can be perceived as “information” for a person; namely the browser. In conclusion, “browsing” is currently defined as: that action whereby one selects what oneneeds from many items, according to certain standards, using all the senses one can employ, inorder to satisfy a vague requirement for information.
