- "Die Recherche im "klassischen" OPAC verlangt eine exakte Formulierung der Suchanfrage, aber viele Bibliotheksbenutzer wissen nicht genau, wonach sie eigentlich suchen. So bleiben oft wertvolle Treffer oder sogar Teile des Bibliotheksbestandes von den Bibliotheksbenutzern unentdeckt. Ein neues Produkt in der Angebotspalette des Bibliothekssoftware-Herstellers BOND GmbH & Co. KG schafft Abhilfe: Der AquaBrowser Library. Er sprengt die Grenzen der konventionellen OPAC-Suche und bietet ein neues, "ergonomisches" Sucherlebnis: die erste progressive und interaktive Suchumgebung. AquaBrowser Library bezieht in die OPAC-Suche automatisch assoziative Begriffe, Synonyme, unterschiedliche Schreibweisen, Übersetzungen sowie den Kontext mit ein. So werden automatisch neue Suchpfade generiert, der Suchbereich und somit auch das Trefferspektrum erweitert. Als Ergebnis erhält der Informationssuchende eine umfangreichere und qualitativ präzisere Ergebnisliste. Das Suchergebnis geht weit über eine Suchliste hinaus: Der Suchbegriff eines Benutzers wird mit den im Bibliothekskatalog enthaltenen Metadaten verglichen. Dabei werden assoziative Begriffe, Synonyme, alternative Schreibweisen, Übersetzungen in Fremdsprachen sowie der Kontext mit einbezogen. Daraus generiert sich automatisch eine visuelle Karte, die so genannte "Word Cloud". Sie stellt alle Assoziationen oder Überblicke über interessante Themenbereiche grafisch logisch dar. Die Begriffe sind Vorschläge und Hilfestellungen für den Bibliotheksbenutzer. Per Klick auf die "Word Cloud" kann er so neue Informationen entdecken und seine Suchanfrage präzisieren und lenken. Beispielsweise werden Tippfehler erkannt und alternative Schreibweisen angeboten. Gibt ein Leser den Suchbegriff "Auto" ein, beinhaltet das Suchergebnis auch Medien zu "PKW", "Kraftfahrzeug" oder "KFZ". Es werden sogar Treffer angezeigt, bei denen der gesuchte Begriff in einer anderen Sprache (englisch, spanisch oder niederländisch) im Katalogisat hinterlegt ist (z.B. car). Bei jeder Suchabfrage erstellt AquaBrowser Library automatisch eine Liste relevanter Kriterien, nach denen der Benutzer seine Ergebnisse filtern kann. Ein Klick auf ein Kriterium genügt und schon werden die Suchergebnisse präzisiert. Auf diese Weise schränken Mediensuchende die Treffer zielgenau ein und gelangen so schnell und exakt zu der spezifischen Information, die sie brauchen. Die Verfeinerungskriterien sind übersichtlich anhand von Kategorien gegliedert (z.B. Schlagwort, Verfasser, Sprache, Personen, Thema, Reihe oder Jahr)."

- Abstract
- Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the usability of a web-based OPAC (WebPAC) user interface at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). It also looks at the applicability of heuristic evaluation in designing a user-centered WebPAC interface. Design/methodology/approach - Based on Nielsen's ten usability heuristic principles, the study focuses on three heuristics only, i.e. aesthetic and minimalist design, match between interface and the real world, and visibility of interface status. Findings - Results of the study found that the WebPAC interface conforms to at least 70 percent usability properties prescribed. Usability problems violated in the interface were identified. Practical implications - The study suggests that heuristic evaluation is applicable in libraries to asses the usability of user interface for online catalogs. Originality/value - Heuristic evaluation could assist libraries in designing user-centered interface for online catalogs.

- 1. Introduction Significant research in the design and use of online public access catalogues (OPACs) has been conducted by professionals in library and information science (Borgman, 1996; Carlyle, 2001, Carlyle & Timmons, 2002; Hancock, 1987). However, only limited research has addressed actual library user interaction with and perceptions of online catalogue displays and bibliographic elements (Abrera, 1986; Luk, 1996; Markey, 1983). Retrieval systems, specifically online library catalogues, should consider user perceptions and expectations as an important aspect of design and implementation for improved catalogue efficiency (Hert, 1996). Therefore, it is necessary to examine the online catalogue from a user perspective to determine if it is currently succeeding in meeting the bibliographic needs of users in terms of description, display, navigation, and to provide principles for design of future OPACs. A study seeking to understand better how public library users interact with general OPAC displays and the more specific displays of bibliographic information was conducted in 2003. Research questions focused an 1) user perceptions of the OPAC, 2) the elements in a bibliographic display standing out as most important in selection and identification, and 3) user feedback an the process of using the OPAC. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the larger study findings having implications for future research and online catalogue design.

- Abstract
- Elementary-age children (ages 6-11) are among the largest user groups of computers and the Internet. Therefore, it is important to design searching and browsing tools that support them. However, many interfaces for children do not consider their skills and preferences. Children are capable of creating Boolean queries using category browsers, but have difficulty with the hierarchies used in many category-browsing interfaces because different branches of the hierarchy must be navigated sequentially and top-level categories are often too abstract for them to understand. Based on previous research, the authors believe using a flat category structure, where only leaf-level categories are available and can be viewed simultaneously, might better support children. However, this design introduces many more items on the screen and the need for paging or scrolling, all potential usability problems. To evaluate these tradeoffs, the authors conducted two studies with children searching and browsing using two types of category browsers in the International Children's Digital Library. Their results suggest that a flat, simultaneous interface provides advantages over a hierarchical, sequential interface for children in both Boolean searching and casual browsing. These results add to our understanding of children's searching and browsing skills and preferences, and possibly serve as guidelines for other children's interface designers.

- Abstract
- The behavior of academic library users has drastically changed in recent years. Internet search engines have become the preferred tool over the library online public access catalog (OPAC) for finding information. Libraries are losing ground to online search engines. In this paper, two aspects of OPAC use are studied: (1) the current OPAC interface and searching capabilities, and (2) the OPAC bibliographic display. The purpose of the study is to find answers to the following questions: Why is the current OPAC ineffective? What can libraries and librarians do to deliver an OPAC that is as good as search engines to better serve our users? Revitalizing the library OPAC is one of the pressing issues that has to be accomplished.
