Geisler, Gary; Marchionini, Gary; Nelson, Michael; Spinks, Richard; Yang, Meng – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
The Open Video Project is an ongoing effort to develop an open source digital video collection that can be used by the information retrieval, digital library, and digital video research communities and ultimately serve a broader audience. Discusses the challenges of compiling and maintaining such a collection. Describes the user interface…

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…

Wacholder, Nina; Sharp, Mark; Liu, Lu; Yuan, Xiaojun; Song, Peng – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
Reports on the methodology used in an experiment whose objective was to discover whether information seekers display experimentally demonstrable preferences for index terms with particular properties, and if so, to analyze those preferences. Results provide strong evidence that it is possible to measure human preference for index terms.…

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…

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…
