Abstract

Discusses the need for tailorable user interfaces, in particular for Web-based systems. User interfaces need to be configurable by the end users to match their skills and work requirements. Describes what configurability has been induced by user feedback and how tailorability for various degrees of user skills was integrated and implemented in the BSCW Shared Workspace system, a Web-based groupware tool

Abstract

Interfaces for information access and retrieval are a long way from the ideal of the electronic book that you can cuddle up with in bed. Nevertheless, today's interfaces are coming closer to supporting browsing, selection, and retrieval or remote information by nontechnical users. This article describes five interfaces to distributed systems of servers that have been designed and implemented: WAIStation for the Macintosh, XWAIS for X-Windows, GWAIS for Gnu-Emacs, SWAIS for dumb terminals, and Rosebud for the Macintosh. These interfaces talk to one of two server systems: the WAIS system on the Internet, and the Rosebud Server System, on an internal network at Apple Computer. Both server systems are built on Z39.50, a standard protocol, and thus support access to a wide range of remote databases. The interfaces described here reflect a variety of design constraints. Such constraints range from the mundane-coping with dumb terminals and limited screen space to the challenging. Amog the challenges addressed are how to provide passive alerts, how to make information easily scannable, and how to support retrieval and browsing by nontechnical users. There are a variety of other issues which have received little or no attention, including budgeting money for access to 'for pay' databases, privacy, and how to assist users in finding out which of a large (changing) set of databases holds relevant information. We hope that the challenges we have identified, as well as the existence and public availability of source code for the WAIS system, will serve as a stimulus for further design work on interfaces for information retrieval

Abstract

The data systems, policies and procedures, corporate culture, and public face of an agency or institution make up its organizational interface. This case study describes how user interfaces for the Bureau of Labor Statistics web site evolved over a 5-year period along with the [arger organizational interface and how this co-evolution has influenced the institution itself. Interviews with BLS staff and transaction log analysis are the foci in this analysis that also included user informationseeking studies and user interface prototyping and testing. The results are organized into a model of organizational interface change and related to the information life cycle.

Abstract

Information professionals have observed that Web-based interfaces simplify database searching and are preferred over other interfaces. A further anecdotal observation is that their features, in comparison to other interfaces, enhance the quality of search sessions, resulting in better outcomes. One explanation is that Web interfaces ease the negative emotive forces searchers experience with other interfaces. This paper examines the challenges in designing a research method to test the validity of these assumptions and observations. Although Web interfaces may provide a more supportive search setting, particularly for less experienced searchers, there is no evidence they contribute to better search outcomes

Abstract

Considers some of the human factors in online interaction and Internet use. Discusses the following: users' need for help from libraries and librarians, given the difficulties people continue to have in accessing and using networked information; the challenge of user demands for speedy delivery of information and documents; the trend towards 'humanizing the net' through chat rooms and social agent interfaces (such as Microsoft's Bob); and the problems for libraries of users using the Internet for trivial or pornographic purposes

Abstract

Describes the origins of the CATaloguing and Retrieval of Information Over Network Applications (CATRIONA) Study in the BUBL Subject Tree service and nots its aims: to investigate the requirements for developing procedures and applications for cataloguing and retrieval of networked resources (particularly via the Internet); and to explore the feasibility of a collaborative project to develop and integrate them with existing library systems. The project established that a distributed catalogue of networked resources integrated with standard Z39.50 library system OPAC interfaces with information on hard copy resources is already a practical proposition at a basic level. Notes that at least one Z30.50 OPAC client can searcg remote Z39.50 OPACs, retrieve USMARC records with URLs in MARC field 856

Abstract

Public libraries in the USA are moving into graphic user interfaces for Internet access. This had led to problems caused by Internet pornography and the subsequent installation of filtering systems in either system wide or selected areas of the library. Gives examples of some of the scenarios that can arise which exemplify the reasons for filtering and the problems it can cause. Discusses how libraries can respond in order to ensure that filering does not degenerate into censorship

Abstract

The CATRIONA Feasibility Study, funded by BLRDD and run at Strathclyde Univeristy in Scotland, was a 6 month study which ended in Jan 95. Outlines the context in which the study arose and details its aims which were in 2 main areas: to investigate the technical, organizational and financial requirements for the develoment of applications programs and procedures to enable the cataloguing, classification and retrieval of documents and other resources over networks; and to explore the feasibility of a project, led by a library systems supplier, to develop such applications and integrate them into library housekeeping systems and OPAC interfaces. Reports on the main results of the study and possible future developments

Abstract

Focuses on the design of systems intended to be shared by culturally heterogeneous users (e.g. users of Computer-supported Co-operative Work (CSCW) and Internet applications). discusses the limitations of current approaches to designing interfaces for culturally diverse users before describing a study conducted to elicit and understand culturally determined usability problems; in which a WWW system was evaluated. Culturally determined usability problems converge in the understanding of representations the meanings of which are rooted in cuturally specific contexts. Explains why existing approaches are inadequate for dealing with this issue. Outlines an HCI approach, called Meaning in Mediated Action (MMA), designed to tackle this problem

Abstract

The scale of web site design has grown so that what was once comparable to decorating a room is now comparable to designing buildings or even cities. Designing sites so that people can find their way around is an ever-growing challenge as sites contain more and more information. In the past, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web has helped developers and designers establish consistent and usable structures for their sites and their information. This edition of the classic primer on web site design and navigation is updated with recent examples, new scenarios, and new information on best practices. Readers will learn how to present large volumes of information to visitors who need to find what they're looking for quickly. With topics that range from aesthetics to mechanics, this valuable book explains how to create interfaces that users can understand easily.

Abstract

The Goal of the Gateway to Educational Materials project is to develop an operational framework to provide teachers on the USA with one-stop/any-stop access to lesson plans, curriculum units and other Internet based educational resources. It is being run by the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology at Syracuse University. Its tasks are to: develop syntax and practices for its application using HTML specifications and Internet browsers; define a metadata profile and controlled vocabularies; encourage the design of prototype interfaces to GEM metadata; design and implement harvesting tools for retrieving metadata; and develop an organizational structure for the maintenance of the GEM profile and its controlled vocabularies

Abstract

If cultural expression is to be reality on the Internet, it must be made available to the majority. Looks at the steps that need to be taken to popularise its use in Africa. African cultural heritage data needs to be organised so that it can be made available through the Internet. There needs to be a code of conduct for access providers to encourage multilingualism e.g. using translation software and multilingual interfaces. Language communities should take part in the standardisation of software and computer protocols

Abstract

Computer based systems can produce enourmous retrieval sets even when good search logic is used. Sometimes this is desirable, more often it is not. Appropriate filters can limit search results, but they represent only a partial solution. Simple ranking techniques are needed that are both effective and easily understood by the humans doing the searching. Optimal search output, whether from a traditional database or the Internet, will result when intuitive interfaces are designed that inspire confidence while making the necessary mathematics transparent. Weighted term searching using powers of 2, a technique proposed early in the history of information retrieval, can be simplifies and used in combination with modern graphics and textual input to achieve these results
