Introduction of Online Searching to End Users at AT&T Bell Laboratories
01 January 1986
We describe preliminary steps leading to the introduction of online searching to end users at AT&T Bell Laboratories. A survey to collect user opinions was conducted; we found that the majority of potential end user searchers have terminals, not personal computers at their disposal. We decided to offer the EasyNet system to our users because EasyNet is a dial-up system. A trial of the system was held; users were generally favorable. This paper describes the trial and users' reactions.
