These three DLs present different features in their search and browsing designs. Two information\u2010seeking tasks are constructed: one search task and one browsing task. An experiment was conducted in a usability laboratory. Data from 35 participants are collected on a set of measures for user interactions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results demonstrate significant differences in many aspects of the user interactions between the three DLs.
