If you want to elaborate on any of these issues, or have any other issues that you want us to consider, please send email to ads at cfa.harvard.edu

• We have kept the ADS look and feel very simple, without any pictures or graphics at all. Do you agree with this approach to a user interface?
  Yes No, more pictures

• We link to the help pages from our search forms, but the form itself contains no help text in order to keep the form as simple as possible. Do you agree with this approach to a user interface?
  Yes No, more help text

• We have included a large number of options for filtering, sorting, and other settings in the lower part of the main query page in order to allow you to make sophisticated queries. Do you agree with the current set of options in the user interface?
  Yes No, more options No, fewer options

• We show a hint for the usage of different features in the ADS every time a new query form is loaded. Do you agree with showing these hints in the user interface?
  Yes No, remove them Never noticed them

• We have developed a user interface that will let you design a few queries, have them executed automatically once per week and have the results emailed to you. Would you consider such a notification service useful?
  Yes No, don't need it Need to know more details

• We send out notices by email and alert our users with a pop-up window about new features in the ADS about twice per year. Do you find such notices useful, and do you think the frequency is acceptable.?
  Yes, just right Yes, but more frequent Yes, but less frequent No, don't need them
