Researchers at the University of Calgary are conducting a Web-based study on information visualization and Web search. Participants of this study are asked to use a visual search prototype for a time period of their choosing and fill out short questionnaires before and after using the system. The purpose of this research is to better understand performance and usability issues of information visualization supporting search on the Web. The data collected during the study will be anonymous and the questionnaires will not ask for any personal information.
