Hert, Carol A.; Jacob, Elin K.; Dawson, Patrick
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v51 n11 p971-88 Sep 2000
Investigates one component of a Web site--the index structure, comparing the effectiveness and efficiency of 20 subjects who used one index and three experimental variants to complete five tasks. Findings indicate that a hypertext index with multiple access points for each concept, all linked to the same resource, led to greater effectiveness and efficiency of retrieval on almost all measures. Satisfaction measures were more variable. (Author/AEF)
