The study investigated the perceptions of user friendliness of information retrieval systems' (IRS) interfaces and the role of individual characteristics of users in these perceptions. A user study with 61 postgraduate students of the University of Ljubljana was performed. Three interfaces were studied: Science Direct, Proquest Direct and Ebsco Host. Questionnaires and observation were used for data collection. The users' perceptions of importance of auxiliary functions, interface preference and perceptions of user friendliness of certain interface elements were investigated. Also, the connections between these perceptions and the users' individual characteristics were identified. Three sets of individual characteristics were included: approaches to studying, thinking styles and hemisphere leanings. In connection with the dimensions of individual characteristics very different user perceptions were expressed. Some dimensions of individual characteristics were also found to be connected to the users' academic areas. It is shown that the participants from different academic areas have different requirements and perceptions of user friendliness. The results of the study are relevant for the design of the user interfaces of disciplinary IRS. They also have implications for other areas, e.g. user education and training, acquisition and marketingČlanek obravnava del širše študije, opravljene na Oddelku za bibliotekarstvo, informacijsko znanost in knjigarstvo Filozofske fakultete v Ljubljani. V študiji so bile preučene zaznave uporabniške prijaznosti vmesnikov sistemov za poizvedovanje in vloga, ki jo imajo pri tem individualne značilnosti uporabnikov. Izvedena je bila uporabniška študija z 61 raziskovanci, podiplomskimi študenti Univerze v Ljubljani. Preučeni so bili trije uporabniški vmesniki: Science Direct, Proquest Direct in Ebsco Host. Za zbiranje podatkov so bili uporabljeni vprašalniki in opazovanje. Preučene so bile zaznave pomembnosti pomožnih funkcij, preferenca določenega vmesnika ter zaznave uporabniške prijaznosti določenih elementov vmesnikov, identificirane so bile povezave med temi zaznavami in individualnimi značilnostmi uporabnikov. Vključeni so bili trije modeli individualnih značilnosti: stili mišljenja pri iskanju informacij, pristopi k iskanju informacij in hemisferičnost. V povezavi z dimenzijami individualnih značilnosti so se izrazile različne zaznave uporabnikov. Ker so bile nekatere od teh dimenzij povezane tudi s stroko raziskovancev, študija utemeljuje, da imajo uporabniki iz različnih strok različne preference in zaznave uporabniške prijaznosti. Rezultati so relevantni za področje načrtovanja uporabniških vmesnikov disciplinarnih sistemov za poizvedovanje, kot tudi za izobraževanje, nabavno politiko in oglaševanjeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZveza bibliotekarskih društev Slovenije
