Toward More Critical Reviewing and Analysis of CD-ROM User Software Interfaces.
Zink, Steven D.
CD-ROM Professional, v4 n1 p16-22 Jan 1991
Criticizes reviews of library CD-ROM products as being uncritical of the user interface and advocates a more rigorous evaluation, not only to aid potential buyers, but as a way to influence manufacturers. Congressional Information Services' Masterfile 2 is evaluated in the context of Heckel's "Principles of Friendly Software Design." (24 references) (EAM)
