Title
Let's get usable! : Usability studies for indexes
Source
Indexer. 22(2000) no.2, S.91-95
Year

Abstract
The article discusses a series of usability studies on indexes from a systems engineering and human factors perspective. The purpose of these studies is to establish a set of user requirements that indexes need to satisfy. The results from the first set of studies are presented and suggestions made as to how these can be applied to improve the usability and quality of indexes.
