Oard, Douglas; Kim, Jinmook – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Presents a framework for modeling the content of information objects such as documents and video programs based on observation of how users interact with those objects in the course of information seeking and use. Identifies four categories of potentially observable user behaviors: examination, retention, reference, and annotation. (AEF)

Mu, Xiangming; Marchionini, Gary – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Describes a novel design of a Table Browser for casual users of statistical data. Focuses on the overall system architecture and the user interface. Describes the prototype interface and presents results of experiments testing the efficacy of the multi-threaded data flow. (AEF)

Shepherd, M.; Watters, Carolyn; Kaushik, Raj – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Results from user studies support the importance of genre and task in interface design and effectiveness of filtering of electronic news. Preliminary results from a study on effectiveness of predicting interesting Web pages based on the content of previously visited pages suggest a great similarity between reading electronic news and browsing the…

Ju, Boryung; Gluck, Myke – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
The purpose of this study was to organize menu items based on a user-process model and implement a new version of current software for enhancing usability of interfaces. A user-process model was developed, drawn from actual users' understanding of their goals and strategies to solve their information needs by using Dervin's Sense-Making Theory…

Devadason, Francis; Intaraksa, Neelawat; Patamawongjariya, Pornprapa; Desai, Kavita – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Describes an experimental system designed to organize and provide access to Web documents using a faceted pre-coordinate indexing system based on the Deep Structure Indexing System (DSIS) derived from POPSI (Postulate based Permuted Subject Indexing) of Bhattacharyya, and the facet analysis and chain indexing system of Ranganathan. (AEF)

Bilal, Dania – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
Using a participatory approach, 11 middle school children created paper prototypes for Web search engines. The prototypes were analyzed in relation to content-related spaces, specific spaces, general spaces, instruction spaces, and other spaces. Children's comments about the purposes of the interfaces were analyzed in terms of functionality and…
