The study found that people who use the Web as part of their work engage in four complementary modes of undirected viewing, conditioned viewing, informal search, and formal search. Based on these findings, a model of Web use is presented, as well as some suggestions for supporting and enhancing Web information seeking in organizations. 2. Recent Web Information Seeking Studies Past studies have traditionally focused on the more quantitative aspects of Web information seeking activity.

On one axis of the model, episodes were plotted according to the four scanning modes identified by Aguilar (1967), Weick and Daft (1983): undirected viewing, conditioned viewing, informal search, and formal search. The study suggests that a behavioral framework that relates motivations (Aguilar) and moves (Ellis) may be helpful in analyzing patterns of Web-based information seeking. Section 3 integrates elements from research in information seeking and organizational scanning into a ...

A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO USER INTERFACE DESIGN FOR A HYPERTEXT FRAMEWORK |

| Article:www.isg.sfu.ca/~duchier/misc/hypertext_review/chapter8.html | |||
|
A number of navigational tools exist for hypertext systems. Authoring guidelines have also been proposed for the organization of information in hypertext systems. However, there has been no systematic and comprehensive approach towards the design of user interfaces for hypertext systems. This paper is an attempt to apply a set of user interface design guidelines to a hypertext framework based on a cognitive model. This framework had classified nodes and links into various semantic types. We believe that such a classification is of great importance in developing an appropriate design metaphor/user interface for a hypertext system. A systematic approach to user interface design would also reduce functional opacity and system opacity.

| Article:www.mit.edu/~jtidwell/interaction_patterns.html | |||
|
The patterns contained in this work address the general problem of how to design an artifact, particularly a complex and interactive one. They are intended to be used by people who design user interfaces, Web sites, books, control panels, and other such things. Others who may be interested include people who implement such artifacts, or test them for usability, or manage teams who design and implement them; the language does not attempt to address implementation issues, however.

Certainly, there are many HTML authors who can create simple web sites, and there are also many tools out there to help manage web page layout. On the remaining pages, we describe CUSTOM 3D ACTION BUTTONS, one of these web design patterns, which deals with balancing the needs of aesthetics and usability. Custom 3D Action Buttons let you use images on your web pages, but also provide cues for which images can be pressed.

As a result, the system creates a set of documents, metadata, or other information type that match the query specification in some sense and displays the results to the user in some form. These are: command language, form fillin, menu selection, direct manipulation, and natural language. Combining faceted queries with quorum ranking yields a situation intermediate between full Boolean syntax and free-form natural language queries.

This paper outlines the premises of and describes a method for using card-sorting and cluster analysis to involve users in the organizational design of Web sites. Cluster analysis is then performed across all participants' card groupings to produce site diagrams. A more user-oriented approach to site structure design requires evaluating users' expectations for organizing a Web site.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of depth and breadth of web site structure on the user response time. The variables evaluated were five different web page linking strategies with varying depth and breadth. The results indicated that response time increased as the depth of the web site structure increased.

Max, the intelligent agent, is programmed with perceptual, cognitive and motor behaviors gleaned from fundamental computer human interaction research and original research of web user browsing behavior. Lynch et al (Lynch et al. , 1999) claim that the Max Model is based on GOMS and the Model Human Processor (MHP, Card, Moran, &Newell, 1983; Pirolli, 1999) and therefore constitutes a psychologically valid model.

ABSTRACT. It is argued that the Internet computer network provides an
almost ideal communication medium for systems researchers. Different
Internet services are reviewed, with an emphasis on the World-Wide Web
(WWW), a recently very popular distributed hypermedia system. WWW allows
researchers to publish complex, integrated knowledge systems electronically
over the network. This knowledge can be interactively consulted, extended
and edited by users anywhere in the world. The Principia Cybernetica
Project, which aims at the collaborative development of an
evolutionary-systemic philosophy, has set up such a WWW server: Principia
Cybernetica Web. The architecture, contents and use of this system are
described, with an emphasis on the tools (annotation, editing) available
for co-operative development. Evolutionary methods for automatically
reorganizing such a system are discussed, and the first results of an
experiment with an adaptive hypertext web, that learns from its users, are
reported.

The other half of the search equation--search results from automated Web crawling technology, or "spiders"--experienced a small boom in innovative approaches to refining query results.
