Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this research was to investigate the organization patterns of INFORMATION CATEGORIES and menus in some Iranian academic library WEBSITES based on Norman and Chin model. Methodology: 10 university central library WEBSITES were observed and examined regarding the five existing patterns for organizing menus (decreasing, increasing, convex, concave, and constant). Two different research methods i.e., observation and structural analysis were applied using a checklist for gathering information. Findings: The structural analysis indicated that, among the five existing patterns of organization of menus (decreasing, increasing, convex, concave, and constant), universities' central library WEBSITES used the decreasing and concave patterns more frequently. Unlike other patterns, the concave pattern reduced the users' errors and uncertainty in the menus. Conclusions: The depth of menu decreased the predictability of sub-categories under each category while it increased the length of time for finding relevant information.
