Abstract

Assesses the appropriateness of graphic user interfaces (GUI), and more specifically the Windows based interfaces used for CD-ROM database applications. An evaluation model was devised to carry out an expert evaluation of the interfaces of 7 CD-ROM databases: Economist on CD-ROM; ADMYTE (Digital Archive of Spanish Texts and Manuscripts); English Poetry (Chadwyck-Healey); Oxford English Dictionary 2nd ed. on CD-ROM; Perinorm; OVID Medline and WinSPIRS Medline. The model identified 2 levels of interaction, the dialogue level aand the task level, and focused on general interface features, search and retrieval tasks, and output and processing options as well as the help facilities. Results are discussed in the light of HCI Usability Criteria and design guidelines (including general interface design guidelines, specific Windows design guidelines and the CD-ROM Consistent Interface Guidelines) to assess to what extent the applications comply and appropriate recommendations make

Abstract

Presents a brief report on a study, carried out by the Centre for Interactive Systems Research, City University, to investigate the techniques used for evaluating OPACs: to explore and assess different data gathering methods in studying information seeking behaviour at the on-line catalogue; and to examine how a transaction logging facility could be enhanced to serve as a more effective diagnostic tool.

Abstract

Discusses evaluation and methods of evaluation of OPACs in the context of user orientated qualitative research. Provides a state of the art review of experimental approaches and analytical data gathering methods applied to on-line catalogues and appropriate evalutative criteria. Suggests the development of more effective diagnostic, monitoring and prototyping tools.

Abstract

An investigation of tools, techniques, and methods for the evaluation of interactive library catalogues is described, with emphasis on diagnostic methods and on use of the catalogue in a wider context of user information seeking behaviour. A front-end system (Olive) was developed to test verious enhancements of traditional transaction logging as a data-gathering technique for evaluation purposes. These include full-screen logging, pre- and post-search, online/offline, and in-search interactive questionnaires, search replys as well as talk-aloud. The extent of subject or hybrid searching activity as opposed to specific item searching is also highlighted
