O'Leary, Mick – Database, 1990
Compares three methods of data entry available to database producers--keyboarding, optical scanners, and electronic input--in terms of turnaround time, accuracy, and cost. It is concluded that, although the trend is toward electronic submission, all three methods will remain as viable options in the foreseeable future. (CLB)

Gemmell, Susan – 2003
This study examined the impact of keyboarding instruction on the acquisition of word processing skills. Over a 6-week period, 6 third grade students were studied as they used the "Type to Learn" keyboarding program. Each student spent an average of 45 minutes on the computer each week. Data collection consisted of observations, questionnaires, and…

Comparison of Retrieval System Interfaces Using an Objective Measure of Screen Design Effectiveness.
Peer reviewed
Davis, Charles H.; Shaw, Debora – Library and Information Science Research, 1989
Describes a study that compared the effectiveness of screen designs for system interfaces by tallying keyboarding errors during online searches. The methodology is described as an unobtrusive means for obtaining objective and empirically based data for interface comparisons. A questionnaire used to determine users' reactions to screen designs is…

Wiggs, Linda Henson; Huter, Lavonne – Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, 1995
Usable responses received from 129 students in an introductory microcomputer course showed that the following were not related to course success: prior keyboarding/typewriting experience, age, or use of computer in other classes. Few significant differences appeared between those required and not required to take the course. Respondents thought…

Colley, Ann; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1996
This study examined 117 undergraduates' perceptions of ability at computer programming and word processing. In particular, it rated the importance of prior experience factors, keyboarding skills, and personal attributes such as enjoyment of problem solving. Those were discovered, in general, to be more important than formal training or aptitude in…

Saka, Thomas – 1986
Five adults with developmental disabilities participated in a keyboard skills training program employing color coded keys and typing drills. Through typing skills, the subjects were taught basic computer operations such as taking disk directories, loading programs and executing the programs. Repetitious learning was the model used. Data collected…
