The "Known" in Known-Item Searches: Empirical Support for User-Centered Design.

Peer reviewed

Wildemuth, Barbara M.; O'Neill, Ann L. – College & Research Libraries, 1995

User-centered design of catalog records requires the study of user behaviors and cognition related to interaction with the catalog. During 3 phases of a pilot study, 103 catalog users described 386 searches; searchers generally knew the title, publication date, page numbers, and/or the author. (Author/AEF)
