Abstract

At California State University Long Beach Library, the bulit-in programming language of dBase 3 Plus, was used to create a menu-drive interface for an automated ready-reference file. An easy-to-use in-house database requiring no dBase experience eo access was created. The database and all necessary programs can be stored on one low density disc and readily be shared

Abstract

In Oct 1991, OCLC introduced FirstSearch, an online reference product designed for the end-user. Through a menu interface, which features extensive online help, more than thirty databases, covering a range of subject areas, are currently available, including three unique to OCLC: WorldCat, Article 1st and Contents 1st. Describes the results of an experiment carried out at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campuses during the 1992-3 academic year. The experiment permitted unlimited searching of all available FirstSearch databases by faculty, staff and students, a potential audience of approximately 60.000

Abstract

Describes a research project which studied the interaction between screen design, menu interfaces and the search results obtained by users. A literature review surveys the research in theses areas, including methods used to evaluate OPACs. Draws up a set of design guidelines for menu interfaces. Two versions of the OPAC a Porirua Public Library in New Zealand were available, 1 used 'good' menu design and the other contravened the guidelines. The difference between 'no-hit' rates for the 2 terminals was not statistically significant, indicating that other factors must be considered

Abstract

The objective of the research was to propose and validate a theoretically meaningful link between 3 constructs of hierarchical menu design: menu dimension, task complexity, and user knowledge structure. 24 subjects participated in a nested factorial experiment. The subjects performed a menu retrieval task using a hierarchical menu system constructed for use in the domain of utility boiler control. The dependent variables were time to respond and accuracy. The independent variables were were 4 menu dimension, task complexity and user knowledge structure. 4 hypotheses were tested. The foundation of the hypotheses was based upon the premise that when task complexity is low, the short term memory requirements of the menu retrieval task are low. Thus, the user's knowledge structure will not affect performance because it is not required for visual information. The objectives of this research were met and are presented in the context of an information processing model for psychomotor tasks

Abstract

Our purpose in this study is to inductively reorganize software interface menu items based an a user's process model. The proposed menu interface in this study used direct users' input, such as goals and strategies for solving their information needs, to reorganize and re-label menus. To assess its effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with actual users, we implemented and compared this new menu version to the original interface that was based upon a traditional categorical menu organization. The significance of this study is that it incorporates user process modeling into the design of the user interface, providing insights into the impact of such modeling an the usability of an information system. Results from the usability testing do indicate that the proposed menu and the traditional menu are similarly effective for users in terms of task completion time and accuracy. User preferences and debriefing comments from usability testing also indicate users preferred the user-process based arrangement of menu items as displayed. However, the types of tasks (different problem type) suggest significant differences for results in task completion time and in accuracy, sometimes favoring the new version. In other words, usable and effective menu organization depends more an the types of tasks and the domain of knowledge than mere menu organization, although menu organization is a factor in the process.

Abstract

Yu and Roh investigate the effects of providing a simple menu, a global and local navigation menu, and a pull-down menu on searching and browsing speed, as well as the user's perception of the appeal of each menu form and the degree of disorientation it might cause. The site was a shopping center with items and prices that could be approached by way of a simple menu with a hierarchal structure, a menu which retained global links across the top of the screen, with local links in a frame to the left, or a pull down menu design. Each of 21 student subjects was given ten searching and five browsing tasks assigned in three treatments, and responded to a post exercise questionnaire using a five point Likert scale on attitude toward the menus. Time was measured from the subjects' indication of starting until the price was provided, and the procedure repeated three times over a three-week interval with treatment switching. A repeated measure ANOVA showed a significant difference among the designs on search speed with the pull-down menu leading the other two. In browsing speed pull-down and global/local were not significantly different but both bettered the simple menu. Attitude and disorientation showed no significant differences.

Abstract

Proposes a new method of evaluating information retrieval systems by concentrating on individual tools in the context of their use, rather than systems as a whole. A tool is a command, its menu or graphic interface equivalent, or a move or stratagem. A user would render an assessment of the relative success of a small part of a search, and every tool used in that part would be credited with a contribution to the result, whether positive or negative. The cumulative scores would provide an assessment of the overall utility of the tool

Abstract

Online library catalogues and other information resources accessible through network connections offer students and scholars a variety of useful data, but present special problems to remote users. Issues facing the user of Internet-accessible systems include: knowing how to reach a system; finding out what a system contains; mastering commands and menu structures; using appropriate kinds of search terms; and choosing among systems to meet information needs effectively. These issues should be addressed by bibliographic instruction librarians and others who develop instructional units for access to systems on the Internet

Abstract

Menu selection systems reduce training and memorization, simplify entry of choices, and structure the user's task. However, the use of menu selection is no guarantee that novices or experts will be satisfied or able to carry out their work. This article focuses on the multiple design issues in creating successful menu selection systems. These include the primary issue of semantic organization and the host of secondary issues such as response time and display rates, shortcuts for frequent users, titles, phrasing of menu items, graphic layout, and selection mechanisms. Novel approaches such as popup menus and embedded menus are covered. Experimental results and design guidelines are presented
