Peer reviewedChignell, Mark H.; Gwizdka, Jacek; Bodner, Richard C. – Information Processing & Management, 1999
Introduces an evaluative framework for metasearch engine performance and illustrates its use in two experiments. Results are used to characterize some properties of leading search engines (as of 1998). Significant interactions were observed between search engine and two other factors: time of day and Web domain. (Author/AEF)

Peer reviewedBucy, Erik P.; Lang, Annie; Potter, Robert F.; Grabe, Maria Elizabeth – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999
Examines differences between the formal features of commercial versus noncommercial Web sites, and the relationship between Web page complexity and amount of traffic a site receives. Findings indicate that, although most pages in this stage of the Web's development remain technologically simple and noninteractive, there are significant…

Park, Su-Hong; Baek, Eun-Ok; An, Jae Soon – 2001
The concept of EPSS (electronic performance support systems) originated in business settings. Recently, there have been many attempts to apply the concept to schools: educational EPSSs (E-EPSSs) have become available on the Web. However, there is little evaluation research and few evaluation frameworks for these emergent E-EPSSs. The primary…

Evaluates Web sites representing businesses in 11 countries in East and Central Europe (ECE) by taking a stance of the Western business user. Findings indicate that the ECE business Web is showing a capability of survival usability, while lacking for the most part more competitive usability. (Author/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…
