User-Centered Perspective of Information Retrieval Research and Analysis Methods.
Sugar, William
Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST), v30 p77-109 1995
Reviews information retrieval (IR) studies since 1986 from the user's perspective. Identifies two main approaches that advocate user-centered design theory: (1) the cognitive approach; and (2) the holistic approach. Also explores other approaches--systems thinking/action research and usability techniques that may have potential for IR research and design. Contains 144 references. (AEF)
