Abstract

This study reports on the usability of two electronic hypertext conference proceedings from the 2000 Human Factors and Ergonomic Society and Usability Professionals' Association conferences. Eight participants, who were moderately familiar with the conference content, completed five search tasks with the conference proceedings that were distributed on CD-ROM. Assessment of both objective (time, success) and subjective (satisfaction) measures indicate several usability problems with the search and navigational structure for both Proceedings. Developers are reminded that the benefits of electronic informational systems only hold true when usability practices are incorporated into their development process.
