| Abstract |
A series of 6 experiments are presented which address the use of menu indexes in Videotex computerized information retrieval systems. Conclusions: menu indexes should be tested empirically for ease of use prior to presentation to the general public; they can be significantly improved in terms of ease of use through detection and correction of design faults and the addition of descriptors; untrained Videotex users were very consistent in their perceptions of good and poor index structures, whereas experts were unable to agree. |
