ABSTRACT
A survey measured users' perceived self-efficacy about interactively retrieving digital video, both overall and according to different factors potentially related to user confidence preceding an actual video search session. A total of 270 surveys, with quantifiable responses, were collected and analyzed. T-tests and correlation tests produced significant findings about users' levels of perceived self-efficacy, including associations with topic familiarly, type or nature of the information need, and system context. Findings give researchers a better understanding of users' confidence and preconceptions prior to interactive information retrieval (IIR) sessions for video, providing valuable insight about users' attitudes which can be used to promote initial and continued use of interactive tools like digital libraries.
