Huvila, Isto; Liu, Ying-Hsang – Education for Information, 2023
Information behavior, one of the central topics in information science research, holds a key position as a field of study of how people interact with information. As such it has many points of connection to a large number of neighboring fields from the study of human behavior to management and technical disciplines interested in developing…

Martin, Thomas H.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1973
An informal survey was conducted, tapping the opinions of scientists doing research related to the features that should or should not be included in the man-machine interface of interactive bibliographic search and retrieval (IBSR) systems. An analysis of the responses showed a significant level of agreement concerning interface features. (2…

Marcus, Richard S.; Reintjes, J. Francis – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981
This first of two related articles by the same authors describes the philosophy, design, and implementation of an experimental translating computer system, CONIT, whose purpose was to investigate techniques for simplifying access to, and operation of, bibliographic retrieval systems. Forty-one references are cited. (FM)

Thompson, David A. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1971
The focus of this article is on the human interaction characteristics of an information retrieval system, some design considerations to improve man-machine cooperation, and a research system at Stanford that is exploring some of these techniques. (55 references) (Author/NH)

Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NY. Dept. of Computer Science. – 1970
On-line retrieval system design is discussed in the two papers which make up Part Five of this report on Salton's Magical Automatic Retriever of Texts (SMART) project report. The first paper: "A Prototype On-Line Document Retrieval System" by D. Williamson and R. Williamson outlines a design for a SMART on-line document retrieval system…

Altman, James W.; And Others – 1971
A generalizable procedure for the analysis and design of information systems is described in the context of allied and supporting data methods, design assessment, and project management considerations. This procedure follows from a view of information systems development as a complex series of goal-directed iterations, rather than a well-ordered…

Martin, Thomas H. – 1974
The command language features of 11 on-line information retrieval systems are presented in terms of the functional needs of a searcher sitting at a terminal. Functional areas considered are: becoming familiar with the system, receiving help when in trouble, regulating usage, selecting a data base, formulating simple queries, expressing single…

International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2012
The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
