Peer reviewedArnovick, George N.; Gee, Larry G. – Information Processing and Management, 1978
Considers two aspects of design and performance evaluation of information systems: initiation, planning, development, and testing of new systems, to include modification of existing structures; and appraisals and measurement of operational systems and components. A taxonomy of information systems provides a basis for organized evaluation of system…

Peer reviewedTague, Jean; Schultz, Ryan – Information Processing and Management, 1989
Presents an evaluation model that is appropriate to the assessment of the effect, from the perspective of the user, of variations in the interface to an information retrieval system. The application of the model to the evaluation of an experimental online catalog is described. (11 references) (Author/CLB)
Descriptors: Evaluation Criteria, Evaluation Methods, Information Retrieval, Measurement Techniques
Peer reviewedDoreian, Patrick – Information Processing and Management, 1988
Presents a measure of the relative standing of professional journals in an aggregated journal citation matrix. The results of the application of the measure to a network of geographic journals during two time periods are reported and discussed. (35 references) (Author/CLB)

Peer reviewedTiamiyu, Mutawakilu; Ajiferuke, Isola Y. – Information Processing and Management, 1988
Presents a model for information retrieval evaluation based on the notion of total relevance, a function derived from the traditional summation of relevance ratings over the documents in a collection. The model makes explicit the perceptual underpinnings of relevance assessments while allowing for consideration of interdocument dependencies. (37…

Peer reviewedEastman, Caroline M. – Information Processing and Management, 1988
Summarizes the similarities between classification systems for catalog selection and information retrieval systems, and discusses system characteristics that allow the use of measures such as recall and precision in system evaluation. (27 references) (Author/CLB)
Descriptors: Classification, Comparative Analysis, Evaluation Criteria, Evaluation Methods
Peer reviewedKeen, E. Michael – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Various methods for calculating and presenting results of information retrieval (IR) evaluation research are discussed, with illustrations from recent laboratory results. Highlights include measures for calculating recall and precision, user needs for high or low level of recall, and comparisons of Boolean and ranked output retrieval. (22…

Peer reviewedDominick, Wayne D. – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Describes the concept of an integrated environment which allows managers to evaluate and measure the performance of computer based information systems. Both system efficiency evaluation and user interaction evaluation are addressed, and MADAM, a system currently operational at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, is briefly described.…
