ABSTRACT

This study examined the usability of text-based search and visual search of a large multidisciplinary library database to provide an empirical analysis of the acceptability of visual systems in the information retrieval environment. It also examined if there are differences in the usability assessment based on experimental order. The results indicated that the text-based search supported users' search behaviors more efficiently than the visual search. Also the text-based search was rated higher than the visual search in terms of user perceptions of four usability factors.
