    Abstract
    Proposes the artifact as theory perspective which drwas together models of scientific practice and design behaviour and in so doing, offers the view of any information technology system as a conjecture on the part of the design team of human and organizational requirements to be met. By adopting this perspective, information system design can be seen as an ill structured problem best tacked by user centred theories and methods. Outlines this perspective, emphasizing the need for convergence of views at the outset of design, and demonstrating the advantages it offers to both the theory and practice of technology design and the fields of information science

    Abstract
    For effective access to images, the design of the database interface must be based on principles that match the actual querying needs of users. Analysis of this design problem reveals that the query language must support utilization of both visual and verbal clues. The ViewFinder interface, designed as a client to a database server, supports querying based on both types of clues. Presents details of ViewFinder design. Describes results of usability analysis performed on ViweFinder with a group of 18 users. High search success rates were achieved (greater than 80%) through both types of querying means (visual and verbal). Users generally used more verbal clues than visual clues in searches

    Abstract
    Information architecture has become one of the latest areas of excitement within the library and information science (LIS) community, largely resulting from the recognition it garners from those outside of the field for the methods and practices of information design and management long seen as core to information science. The term "information architecture" (IA) was coined by Richard Wurman in 1975 to describe the need to transform data into meaningful information for people to use, a not entirely original idea, but certainly a first-time conjunction of the terms into the now common IA label. Building on concepts in architecture, information design, typography, and graphic design, Wurman's vision of a new field lay dormant for the most part until the emergence of the World Wide Web in the 1990s, when interest in information organization and structures became widespread. The term came into vogue among the broad web design community as a result of the need to find a way of communicating shared interests in the underlying organization of digitally accessed information.

    Abstract
    While the potential of hypertext as an information presentation medium is undeniable, its acceptance by users will be determined largely by its usability. Highlights 4 issues of relevance: reading from screens as opposed to reading from paper; reader behaviour; interface design variables such as display size and manipulation facilities; and user navigation. Existing research is reviewed and implications for the design of hypertext systems are discussed. Suggestions for future work are presented.

    Abstract
    Examines the relationship between work in cognitive and differential psychology and current analyzes of users in human computer interaction. Human computer interaction could gain significant predicitve power if individual differences research was related to the analysis of users in contemporary systems design

    Abstract
    At Indiana, we are currentlxy investigating several aspects of electronic document usage that relate to the organization of information in digital environments. This work is collectively referred to under the heading: the perception of ahpe in information. The aim of this research is to identify aspects of presentation that affords users with a sense of location and order in electronic space, and to transfer these findings to developers of digital library applications. As well as empirical research, SLIS is involved in the development of a number of practical projects involving the campus libraries utilising sociotechnical approaches to design, but it is the research component of our efforts that will be emphasized here
