Kim, Su Hee; Eastman, Caroline M. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999
Describes an experiment in which presentation size and text length is varied in a HyperCard application. Students performed a fact-retrieval task from a reference handbook. No interaction is found between these two independent variables. Performance is significantly better for the longer texts, but no significant difference is found for the two…

Priss, Uta; Old, John – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Presents a new technique for information access based on a combination of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and conceptual structures as modeled in relational concept analysis. Describes a graphical interface that allows access of spatial, hierarchical, and linear data in a common manner; discusses its features and limits. (Author/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…

Jacso, Peter; Lancaster, F. W. – 1999
This book is intended to help librarians and others to produce databases of better value and quality, especially if they have had little previous experience in database construction. Drawing upon almost 40 years of experience in the field of information retrieval, this book emphasizes basic principles and approaches rather than in-depth and…

Kacmar, Charles J.; Carlson, John R. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999
Results of two studies of user design preferences for link markers--entities that signify pathways to additional information in hypermedia information systems--indicate that, in general, link markers that employ color and bound objects are the most effective in communicating the existence and extent of links and are most preferred by users.…

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.

Battig, Michael E. – 2002
As computing and embedded systems become ubiquitous in our world, the importance of user interface design knowledge increases in our curriculum. Students of undergraduate information systems or computer science programs should possess some competence in this computing sub-discipline. However, many programs do not have the curricular space to host…

Wang, Jianqun; Reid, Edna O. F. – Microcomputers for Information Management, 1996
Discusses basic concepts and technologies related to World Wide Web information system development. Describes the design and implementation of Virtual Travel Mart, a Web-based end- user oriented information system. Emphasizes design considerations, which focus on user needs; creativity; integration of in-house databases on the Internet; currency;…
