Excerpt from Evaluation of Information Systems: A Selected Bibliography With Informative Abstracts
A survey of the literature on evaluation of information systems has been conducted by the Technical Information Exchange, Center for Computer Sciences and Technology, National Bureau of Standards. During the early stages of the survey, the literature was divided among descriptions of programs which compared the performance of two or more information systems, accounts of programs which studied the performance of one system, papers and reports which discussed the problems of evaluation programs, and documents which proposed new techniques for evaluation of systems. From the total literature collected, those references which were judged to be most directly concerned with the subject of evaluation of information systems were selected and abstracted. The abstracts are designed to give a summary of the content of the corresponding paper; the author's own wording was used extensively, in order to avoid misinterpretation. All of the references collected are listed, in alphabetic order of authors' names, in the appendix to the main body of this publication.

Excerpt from Evaluation of Information Systems: A Selected Bibliography With Informative Abstracts
Prior to this publication a bibliography of references considered for annotating was prepared. The listing is appended to this publication. It contains not only all of the items for which abstracts were prepared but all of the items processed but not abstracted. The latter included papers on system design, as discussed above; those expressing opinions or assessments, rather than reporting tests or evaluations; and papers of borderline interest, potentially related perhaps. But not directly concerned with evaluation. The bibliography, including the partial listing of more recent material mentioned above, constitutes an extensive, if not exhaustive, compilation of material on the subject of evaluation of information systems.
The contribution of Mrs. Betty Anderson in the editing and typing of the manuscript has been invaluable. The staff of the Technical Information Exchange, a part of the Center for Computer Sciences and Technology, nbs, provided excellent bibliographic support.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a survey of the literature on evaluation of information systems. It begins with a summary of the ASLIB-Cranfield study, which was the first large-scale experiment to measure retrieval effectiveness. The author then discusses other work on comparative evaluation, including tests of different indexing methods, tests of the performance of total systems, and tests of various other properties of systems or components. The book concludes with a discussion of the problems of evaluation programs and proposals for further testing methods. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the evaluation of information systems. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field, and it offers many insights into the problems and challenges of evaluating information systems.
