    Abstract
    Reports on a study conducted at Indiana University in the summer of 1993 which observed 10 advanced graduate students in language and literature studies as they conducted literature searches using databases on CD-ROM. Presents a brief review of related literature on relevance judgements, human-computer interaction (HCI) and information seeking behaviour of humanities students. The search strategies of the graduate students under study were found to be typical of humanities scholars, who create large sets and review records quickly to select relevant items. Factors influencing relevance assessments included language, source of publication, author, and length of work. Participants especially appreciated electronic access to the Modern Language Association (MLA) International Bibliography but encountered problems with the controlled vocabulary and analytic entries for books and proceedings. The study has identified problems with database content, presentation and search interfaces which should be considered by system designers

    Abstract
    The WilsonDisc user interface for CD-ROM searching was evaluated using heuristic evaluation and observation of experienced users and used 2 Wilson Disc databases: MLA International Bibliography and Humanities Index. The heuristic evaluations identified 51 different problems, while observations found only 8. However, the major problem encountered by users: changing of the databases, was not found through heuristic evaluation. Suggests that expert evaluators explicitely consider the user interface environment, the context in which users elect to use the system
