    Abstract
    Presents the background and reports progress made in the development of 2 view-based searching systems - HIBROWSE and EMBASE, searching Europe's most important biomedical bibliographic databases, and HIBROWSE EPOQUE, improving access to the european Parliament's Online Query System

    Abstract
    An approach to accessing databases, which makes extensive use of structured thesaurus views for presenting and searching a large bibliographic database through progressive refinement, is being investigated in a research project which is seeking to apply usability criteria as the determinant for interface design. It aims to investigate measurements of retrieval performance in an application of graphical user interface techniques using multi-windowed layered attribute value aggregation, including those provided by a structured thesaurus, to access bibliographic databases. This paper reports on the progress made in the first year of the project of the application of usability methodologies, the revision of a preliminray design and the resulting prototype development. Implications for more widespread applications are discussed

    Abstract
    Reports the results of a research project, conducted by the School of Computing and Mathematics and the Library of Huddersfield Polytechnic, into the problem of matching the user interface of OPACs to the needs of users. The project brought together issues involving: Human Computer Instruction (HCI); system methods in the determinination of user requirements; and user centred design, and prototyping in a sequence of design and evaluation cycles. These cycles applied appropriate HCI styles, techniques and equipment (such as Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a mouse pointing device) and incorporated the lessons of each evaluation, to produce an OPAC user interface, ICARUS, which differs considerably in style, behaviour and characteristcs from those commonly encountered in academic and public libraries. The project concluded by evaluating ICARUS, against the BLCMP OPAC with 38 subjects in the Library of Huddersfield Polytechnic, and demonstrating a significant improvement in performance for different tasks for the ICARUS interface
