Abstract
When AMC Cancer research Center, Colorado, wanted to evaluate a prototype of their new multimedia CD-ROM database: Cancer Information Guide; they turned to communication researchers at Colorado State Univ., Center for Research on Writing and Communication Technologies, to develop and apply a usability evaluation process to the multimedia and hypertext searching features of the database. Briefly notes how the results of the study were applied by AMC to their product development process
