Aus dem Abstract:

Findings – Both the usability testing and survey demonstrated that users preferred VuFind’s interface over the classic catalogue. They particularly liked the facets and the richness of the search results listings. Users intuitively understood how to use the deconcatenated Library of Congress Subject Headings. Despite the discovery layer’s new functionality, known journal title searching still presents a challenge to users and certain terms used in the interface were problematic.
