“…The focus of this study is on the information search (item search) tasks using a browsing strategy. For the design of a Web site to support an information search task using a browsing strategy, the organization of a Web site is the most important issue (Smith, Newman, & Parks, 1997;Yang & Salvendy, 1997). When browsing a Web site to find target information, users usually do not know where to find the information.…”

“…We decided that the degree of structuredness is an important dimension, because different degrees of structuredness can affect navigation patterns (Smith, Newman, & Parks, 1997). Two extreme cases were selected along the degree of structuredness.…”

“…In hypertext, both the interface and the way the information is stored or structured are considered crucial to its success (Marchionini & Schneiderman, 1988), implying the information should be coherently structured both at the logical and visualization level (Garzotto, Mainetti, & Paolini, 1995). However, matching tasks, information structures, and navigation aids is a difficult process (Smith et al, 1997) entailing close user-designer interaction during the analysis and design phases to elucidate the task characteristics, user characteristics and motives, and needed features (Dillon & McKnight, 1995;Jackson, Chow, & Leitch, 1997;Nanard & Nanard, 1995;Rheingold, 1991). Indeed, Kasvi et al (1998) found that one of the reasons for the failure of IHAs is the lack of solid cooperation between the developers and end users of the system.…”

“…It involves the detailed design, which is translated into a prototype that users evaluate and provide feedback to refine the design, correct the specification, and collect further data. The detailed design is a difficult process (Smith et al, 1997) and entails making decisions on how to structure and present the information gathered to the user and the way the user accesses that information so as to support users in their tasks. (Nanard & Nanard, 1995) 1 Generating material-the emergence of ideas.…”
