TLDR
Earlier efforts originating within the fields of “ergonomics” and “human factors” are undergoing a radical development in the direction of a serious concern with understanding and dealing with the basic interactions between people and their actual work situation.Abstract:
The advent of modem information technology is significantly affecting many aspects of the system design process as well as the resulting user products. One tendency seems to be in the direction of integrated work stations which aim at supporting the broad diversification of tasks which professional users have to cope with. Therefore earlier efforts originating within the fields of “ergonomics” and “human factors” are undergoing a radical development in the direction of a serious concern with understanding and dealing with the basic interactions between people and their actual work situation. Major areas include user modelling, task performance, decision making and user-system communications. This concern has spawned an activity called cognitive engineering having the overall goal of providing good human-work interfaces and incorporating as a principle ingredient a cognitive task analysis (Pejtersen and Rasmussen 1986).read more

Design of a computer-aided user-system dialogue based on an analysis of users' search behaviour
TL;DR: Aspects of needs and values as expressed by users as well as different search strategies applied by librarians and users during the retrieval process are identified and their different requirements for the design of adequate computer aids will be discussed.
