Harris, Chanda; Allen, Robert B.; Plaisant, Catherine; Shneiderman, Ben – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Discusses visualization of legal information using a tool for temporal information called "LifeLines." Explores ways "LifeLines" could aid in viewing the links between original case and direct and indirect case histories. Uses the case of Apple Computer, Inc. versus Microsoft Corporation and Hewlett Packard Company to…

Marchionini, Gary; Geisler, Gary; Brunk, Ben – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 2000
Presents a framework for interface design that provides people with flexible control over different views for an information space, particularly on the World Wide Web. The agileviews framework defines overviews, previews, reviews, peripheral views, and shared views that help people make decisions about where they should focus attention during…

Tse, Tony; Vegh, Sandor; Shneiderman, Ben; Marchionini, Gary – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop research methods to compare the effectiveness of two video browsing interface designs, or surrogates--one static (storyboard) and one dynamic (slide show)--on two distinct information seeking tasks (gist determination and object recognition). (AEF)

Lin, Xia – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
"MedLine Search Assistant" is a new interface for MEDLINE searching that improves both search precision and recall by helping the user convert a free text search to a controlled vocabulary-based search in a visual environment. Features of the interface are described, followed by details of the conceptual design and the physical design of…

Sutton, Stuart A.; Lankes, R. David; Small, Ruth V.; Eisenberg, Michael B. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Describes the Gateway to Educational Materials Project (GEM) at the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology at Syracuse University. Explicates the GEM metadata element set and how GEM metadata is created. Discusses the syntactic binding of GEM metadata and the mechanisms for its distribution. Concludes with a brief discussion of existing…

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)

Ide, Nancy M.; Sperberg-McQueen, C. M. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1997
In the case of digital collections of text, provision of a simple unified user interface faces several challenges, among them a tension between intellectual adequacy and simplicity of access. Examines the question of how to allow cross-collection searching and display while preserving the variation in texts and their markup and points to…

Vishik, Claire; Farquhar, Adam; Smith, Reid – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Discusses experiences of Schlumberger IT Sourcing (Austin, Texas) in designing and deploying knowledge management (KM) systems and outlines the empathic design approach. The new "market" approach in Schlumberger which leads to the simplification of intranet systems and interfaces, creation of a new classification system, and better…

Mostafa, Javed; Dillon, Andrew – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996
Describes the ViewFinder interface, designed at Indiana University as a client to a database server; it supports querying based on both visual and verbal clues. Presents results of usability analysis performed on ViewFinder with 18 users. High search success rates were achieved through both types of querying means; verbal clues were used more than…

Paez, Linda B.; Bezerra da Silva-Fh., Jose; Marchionini, Gary – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996
Questionnaires, observation, and taped interviews of 36 graduate students were used to compare and evaluate the use of a continuous zooming graphical interface and a typical jump-based hypertext interface, with a focus on minimizing user disorientation when reading documents. Learning time, performance and user satisfaction were evaluated. (AEF)

Saracevic, Tefko – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1997
Presents a stratified model of information retrieval interaction that views interaction as a dialog between participants (user and computer) through an interface. Discusses traditional and interaction models, and extension to relevance, user modeling, search term selection, and types of feedback in information retrieval. (AEF)

Neumann, Laura J.; Ignacio, Emily N. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Analyzes videotapes of people using the Illinois Digital Library system during tests as well as transcripts and audiotapes from the sessions. Identifies how users learn to uncover new features and what assumptions they have about systems. What first appeared to be a random trial-and-error use of the interface was actually structured exploration…

Ding, Wei; Marchionini, Gary – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Describes the structure of the graphical user interface for the digital resource library presently in use at three Baltimore middle schools. Focuses on video overview and preview mechanisms which are designed to facilitate users' exploration of the whole resource collection, support rapid browsing of object surrogates, and provide access to…
