Abstract: This article examines searcher behavior and affective response to a hypertext‐based bibliographic information retrieval system called HyperLynx for searchers with different search skills and backgrounds. Search times and number of nodes visited were recorded for five specified search queries, and views of the system were recorded for each searcher. No significant differences were found in search times our user satisfaction with the system, indicating that a hypertext‐based approach to bibliographic retrieval could be approapriate for a variety of searcher experience levels. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
