MedioVis是一个专门为图书馆数据而设计的可视化信息检索系统。目标是创建一个系统,简化和优化用户的信息查找过程,从而进一步激励用户浏览图书馆馆藏。为了提高动机,特别注意在用户界面的设计过程中考虑使用方面的乐趣。主要的用户界面设计基于多个协调视图,以直接操纵的方式提供各种各样的探索可能性。为了使系统对非专家用户的可用性一目了然,开发过程中还对图书馆的临时用户和常规用户进行了连续的用户测试。在开发过程的最后进行了全面的总结性评价,比较效率和乐趣的使用现有的基于网络的目录系统KOALA的康斯坦茨大学图书馆与MedioVis系统。这一比较评估的结果表明,在MedioVis的帮助下,信息查找过程的效率得到了显着提高。与KOALA相比,用户还在其享乐质量和吸引力的各个方面对MedioVis进行了更好的评价。
MedioVis is a visual information seeking system which was designed especially for library data. The objective target was to create a system which simplifies and optimizes the user's information seeking process and thus further motivates the user to browse in the library stock. To enhance the motivation special attention was given to consider joy of use aspects during the design of the user interface. The primary user interface design is based on multiple coordinated views to offer a great variety of exploration possibilities in a direct-manipulative manner. To accomplish a self-explanatory usability of the system for non-expert users, the development was accompanied by continuous user tests with casual and regular library users. At the end of the development process a comprehensive summative evaluation was conducted, comparing efficiency and joy of use of the existing web-based catalogue system KOALA of the library of the University of Konstanz with the MedioVis system. The results of this comparative evaluation show a significant improvement of the efficiency of the information seeking process with the help of MedioVis. The users also rated MedioVis significantly better in all dimensions of its hedonic quality and appeal compared with KOALA.
