Title: A Human Factors Experiment With Students’ Google Searching
Authors: Zabed Ahmed, S M; Hossain, Tania
Abstract: This paper reports on a human factors experiment with students’ Google searching. Two
different student groups (novice and experienced) volunteered in this study. They carried
out five search tasks and their performance was recorded through a computer screen
recording application. Data was captured on the time taken, error rates and success
score. After completion of search tasks, they all completed a questionnaire on their satisfaction
with Google. The performance data showed that overall experienced students
performed better. Differences were significant across all performance measures between
groups. Students held neither highly positive nor highly negative perceptions about Google.
Experienced students were significantly more satisfied with Google than the naive group.
The findings could be used to redesign the present Google search engine.2006-11-09T00:00:00ZAcademic Search Engines : Librarian’s Friend, Researcher’s Delight

Title: Academic Search Engines : Librarian’s Friend, Researcher’s Delight
Authors: Chakravarty, Rupak; Randhawa, Sukhwinder
Abstract: Search engines are about excitement, optimism, hope and enrichment. Search engines
are also about despair and disappointment. A researcher while using search engines
for resource discovery might have experienced one or the other sentiments. One may
say that user satisfaction depends much upon the search strategies deployed by the
user. But at the same time its also depends upon the quality of search engine used for
information retrieval. Today, there are many search engines used for resource discovery.
They display the results of the searches made in readily-comprehensible manner
with lots of customization possibilities including refining and sorting. This paper is an
attempt to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the three most used and popular
search engines for academic resource discovery: Google Scholar, Scirus and Windows
