Design considerations for creating a chemical information workstation

John A. Mess

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995, vol. 46, issue 8, 632-637

Abstract: At the reference desk, we serve a variety of users with varying chemical expertise, computer expertise, and instructional needs. The variety of electronic resources currently available for the chemical researcher lack the ability to customize/cater to individual requirements. Either they require the user to know how to use various computer resources, or they walk the user through multiple steps that a knowledgeable search agent would bypass. In almost all cases, the users are translating their requests into the computer program's language. These issues lead to considerations of what a functional chemical information workstation should be expected to provide to support the user, and examine how it can be implemented. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
