Abstract

This study examines the relationships amongst three major usability elements - efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction. Based on an experiment involving twelve subjects, this pilot study measured the efficiency, effectiveness, and subjective satisfaction of an academic digital library system. The preliminary results showed all three usability elements are highly correlated with each other. In particular, the correlation between effectiveness and satisfaction is much higher than the other pairs of correlations.
