title = "Analysis of information seeking behaviors in index use, or opening Pandora's box",
abstract = "This paper will provide a brief overview of a research project which had two major goals: 1) to empirically investigate book-index usage behaviors and the extent to which specific print index features affect a user's search for information, and; 2) to examine these same features in an electronic environment. The goal of the research is to determine the optimum specifications for indexes in electronic texts by gathering evidence from a controlled user study. We present a subset of results from index use in both print and electronic formats. We suggest a preliminary model representing users' behaviors when using an index and suggest implications for system design.",
