Newby, Gregory B. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1992
Presents a theoretical framework for navigation in information retrieval systems and describes a prototype retrieval system that was developed to investigate navigation. The use of a visual interface in a spatial representation scheme is described, and results of a user-based evaluation of the system are reported. User questionnaires are appended.…

Chu, Heting; Rosenthal, Marilyn – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996
Three Web search engines--Alta Vista, Excite, and Lycos--were compared and evaluated in terms of their search capabilities and retrieval performances using sample queries drawn from real reference questions. Findings indicated Alta Vista outperformed Excite and Lycos in both search facilities and retrieval performance, although Lycos had the…

Drabenstott, Karen M.; Weller, Marjorie S. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996
Describes the comparative approach to system evaluation used in a project which administered an online retrieval test to an experimental online catalog to produce data for evaluating effectiveness of a new subject access design. Discusses efforts used to ensure data reliability, and strategies the researchers can use to improve on the data…

Wyman, Steven K.; McClure, Charles R.; Beachboard, John B.; Eschenfelder, Kristin R. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1997
Examines Web site assessment criteria that producers of public information may use to evaluate the effectiveness of a Web site. The goal of this study was to design analytical tools from system-based techniques and user feedback with which federal Web site administrators can assess the quality of their Web sites. (Author/AEF)
