User-centred design, e-research, and adaptive capacity in cultural institutions: The case of the Women on Farms Gathering collectionPang, Natalie Lee-San; Schauder, Donald; Quartly, Marian; Dale-Hallett, Liza; Khoo, C.; Singh, D.; Chaudhry, A.S. (School of Communication & Information, Nanyang Technological University, 2006)This paper explores how the interaction between community members, researchers and cultural institutions can be leveraged to produce improved results for all through the interplay of user-centred design (UCD) and participative action research informed by structuration theory. We discuss through a case study of a Women on Farms Gathering (WoFG) collection in Victoria, our vision of UCD, the potential of using ICT to facilitate e-research, and the reflexive adaptation of cultural institutions.
