- Abstract
- User persistence in displaying postings is a significant human factor in the design of computer driven information systems, including online catalogs. Expert opinion and a study of users of a first generation online catalogue have suggested that users normally display no more than 30 to 35 postings. A follow up study on a second generation system with a larger database found that a greater proportion of users reported overload, but 100 postings (rather than 15) were considered 'too many'. Partially persistent users typically displayed 28 postings, but overloaded uses did not outnumber totally persistent users until postings retrieved exceeded 200. The findings suggest that, given sufficient resources, designers should still consider 30 to 35 postings typical persistence, but also justify treating 100 or 200 postings as a common threshold of overload

- Abstract
- Discusses a multiple search session model of end users' interaction with information retrieval systems based on results from an exploratory study investigating end users' search sessions over time with OPACs or CD-ROM databases at different stages of their information seeking related to a current research project. Interviews were conducted with 200 academic end users to investigate the occurrence of multiple search sessions

- Abstract
- Reports from a study investigating the extent to which academic end users conduct multiple search sessions, over time woth OPAC or CD-ROM databases at different stages of their information seeking related to a current research project. Interviews were conducted using a questionnaire with 200 academic end users at Rutgers University Alexander Library, NJ and University of North Texas, to investigate the occurrence of multiple search sessions. Results show that at the time of the survey interview, 57% of end users had conducted multiple search sessions during their research project and 86% of end users conducted their 1st search session at the beginning stage of their information seeking process. 49% of end users had conducted between 1 and 6 search sessions and 8% more than 6 search sessions. 70% of multiple search sessionss end users had modified their search terms since their 1st search session. Discusses the implications of the findings for end user training, information retrieval systems design and further research
