Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a usability study which inquired into undergraduate student information seeking with [[Wikipedia]] on the iPod touch.Design/methodology/approach – Data are drawn from iPod search logs and student survey responses. Search log data are coded with FRBR subject entities (group 3 entity sets) for analysis.Findings – Students characterize the overall nature of information searched for with the Wikipedia app to be for recreational and for short factual information. Recreational searching as a way in which undergraduate students utilize mobile technology is an earlier finding of Wikipedia iPod usage, and is verified as a trend of undergraduate student search using the iPod. All undergraduate student participants of the Wikipedia app on a mobile interface report this tool as helping to become more efficient in their research. Students viewed Wikipedia articles about people and concepts more so than other article types.Originality/value – Undergraduate st... | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a usability study which inquired into undergraduate student information seeking with [[Wikipedia]] on the iPod touch.Design/methodology/approach – Data are drawn from iPod search logs and student survey responses.
