Purpose–This study aims to investigate the effects of different search and browse features in
digital libraries (DLs) on task interactions, and what features would lead to poor user …

If digital libraries are to be used effectively, their user interfaces should be tested and
enhanced. We observed 48 participants as they worked with the following digital libraries …

This paper reports a usability evaluation of three operational digital libraries (DLs): the ACM
DL, the IEEE Computer Society DL, and the IEEE Xplore DL. An experiment was conducted …

This study aims to explore the relationships between user interaction and digital libraries
(DLs) evaluation. User interaction is a multi-dimensional construct and recognized as three …

This paper presents patterns of users' interaction when working with digital libraries. It
focuses on strategies developed and applied by users over time to achieve their goals …

Digital libraries (DLs) have been evaluated implicitly by analyzing the query behavior
extracted from the log files (LFs), and explicitly by conducting user studies and usability …

Purpose–The present study aims to review the literature concerning Digital Libraries (DLs)
and user interfaces in order to identify, determine, and suggest evaluation criteria for a DLs …

What interface features of academic digital libraries (DLs) do scholars use when engaging in
an exploratory search task? We compare social scientists' and computer scientists' use of …

Digital library interaction evaluation has, by nature, a user centered perspective, which
directs the scientific research to the benefit of the user and narrows the research parameters …

Purpose–The main objective of this paper is to review work on the usability and impact of
digital libraries. Design/methodology/approach–Work on the usability and impact of digital …
