Resumen


En este estudio se analiza el modo en que los usuarios realizan tareas de búsqueda y recuperación de información mediante consulta en la Biblioteca Digital Hispánica, distinguiendo grupos de usuarios en función de su distinto comportamiento informacional. Para ello se emplean los ficheros log recopilados por el servidor durante un año y se cotejan distintos algoritmos de agrupamiento. Se observa que el algoritmo k-means es un procedimiento de agrupamiento adecuado al análisis de extensos ficheros log de consultas en bibliotecas digitales. En el caso de la Biblioteca Digital Hispánica se distinguen tres grupos de usuarios cuyo comportamiento informacional distintivo se describe.
