    Abstract
    This paper presents a description and initial results of an evaluation of EuroMenUSE for the MAC, a system which offers an alternative mode of access to EPOQUE, the document database of the European Parliament. Subjects with a professional interest in European Parliament business, but with no prior knowledge of information retrieval systems, were able to search EPOQUE using EuroMenUSE for the Mac. These end-users achieved better retrieval results than similar subjects using the current Guided Search mode in use at the Parliament. They also performed better than subjects knowledgeable in information retrieval, but who had less subject knowledge, using the SIMBAD Common Command Language interface, the mode of access used by professional documentalists in the Parliament and other European Union Institutions

    Abstract
    This paper describes the coming together of two independent programmes developing interfaces which improves access to databases. MenUSE - Menu-based User Search Engine - has been developed to search bibliographic databases whilst HIBROWSE - High Resolution Interface for Database Specific BROWsing and SEarching - is a front-end for searching information stored on structured relational database management systems. Combining the 2 approaches affords the user much greater access capabilities than is possible using traditional retrieval systems. The implications of this are explored in the context of EPOQUE (the European Parliament Online QUEry system) and INSPEC

    Abstract
    Demonstrates that a mode of interaction, analogous to the optomechanical principles applied in the Peek-a-Boo system, can be applied in computerized retrieval systems to enhance the quality of human-computer interaction radically and increase effectiveness. The MenUSE (Menu based User Search Engine) software has evolved from constructing explicit Boolean combinations of concepts automatically to using an implicit Boolean searching approach, similar to Peek-a-Boo. Thesauri and classification schemes, together with other searchable values, provide the user with views of a database and a means for the recognition and selection of concepts and other parameters by the end user. The resulting filtering model has been implemented for searching the European Parliament's EPOQUE database and for INSPEC. This second application provides illustrations of the technique for this paper
