- Abstract
- The study attempted to idendify how end-users modify their initial search strategies in the light of new information presented during their interaction with an online bibliographic information retrieval system in a real environment. This exploratory study was also conducted to determine the effectiveness of the changes, made by users during the online process, in retrieving relevant documents. Analysis of this data shows that all end-users modify their searches during the online process. Results indicate that certain changes were made more frequently than others. Changes affecting relevance and characteristics of end-users' online search behaviour were also identified
