Abstract

Planning the evaluation of an information retrieval system involves two steps: first, a determination of performance descriptors and measures appropriate to the system objectives and, secondly, a development of an evaluation design which ensures the effect of variation in components of interest will be isolated and assessed in an unbiased fashion. This paper examines the question of retrieval system evaluation from the perspective of the user. It presents evaluation procedures which are appropriate to this perspective and which can be used to isolate the effect of variation in the user interface to the system. The general procedure is exemplified by an application to evaluation of an experimental OPAC interface.
