- Abstract
- Describes a study that examined the instances and causes of problems with keyword subject searching of journal citation databases. The researchers employed 3 methods, and in so doing, tested their viability in developing a cohesive record of user searching activities and attitudes: transaction log analysis, survey questionnaire, and protocol analysis. Two types of recommendations emanate from this research: suggestions for practical enhancements to interface software design; and a new methodological approach to the study of user searching behaviour in online systems
