performance of library catalogues and indexes. The involvement of computers in the generation of catalogues has enabled people's performance to be studied with alternative catalogue displays. One of the critical factors is the number of entries which can be scanned per page, the more entries the shorter the search time. Another critical factor is the way keywords in a title are displayed in relation to the context both of the other words in the title and the other entries in the catalogue.
