Application Description and Evaluation for NLS

Abstract

NLS (On-Line System) is a text-editing, dialog-support, and communications system which provides users with a state-of-the-art tool for document production, communication, and information management and retrieval. This paper reviews the history of NLS at one site, and indicates the range of potential uses for the tools inherent to NLS. These uses were primarily for correspondence, document production, and information management. An informal evaluation is the second major part of this report. It concentrates on users' impressions of the system's utility, ease of access, and factors which might impede acceptance. Sample products and a discussion of office automation conclude the report.
