For some of the members this session offered the unique opportunity to get the information, on the systems of their interest, directly from the source i.e. from the key developers or from the key users. The ongoing success of this session is due to this open way of exchange of information and experience. The workshops covered a variation of subjects. It was based on some demonstrations by Traugott Koch . Quality criteria for global search services, for special services and for user interfaces were extensively discussed.
Variant factors influence precision and recall.
Hints were given to improve research results. Both end- users and librarians need added value. A very long list with a variety of interesting additions was suggested and commented. Suggestive drawings illustrated the distinctive types of collections that can be converted. Depending upon the type of user, there are different points of view on how a GUI should look like.
