An evaluation scheme for trader user interfaces
Andrew Goodchild · 1995
This paper provides a set of criteria to evaluate the usability of trader user interfaces with respect to resource discovery. The criteria were identified because trader user interface developers sometimes make unrealistic assumptions about the information seeking behavior of their users, leading to interfaces that are difficult to use for resource discovery. This paper uses some insights from the cognitive aspects of the information science field to justify the usability criteria. The results of this paper are general enough to aid the developer of a user interface to any resource discovery tool.
