Abstract | An empirical investigation of information retrieval using the MEDLINE database was carried out to study user behavior, performance and to investigate the reasons for suboptimal searches. Subjects were two groups of final year medical students (novice and expert users of the search system). Findings indicate that just one factor can cause poor performance, whereas good performance can result from suboptimal strategies that compensate for some difficulties. (Contains 47 references.)
