title = "An Asian study of healthcare Web portals: Implications for healthcare digital libraries",
abstract = "In contrast to most studies conducted in the West, this study investigated online trust of healthcare Web portals from Asian countries. A Web-based survey was conducted through the Internet for about two weeks and achieved 127 responses. The respondents assessed two healthcare Web portals based on task completion before answering questions in a Web-based questionnaire. Congruent to related studies carried in the West, this study also suggested a significant relationship between usability and perceived credibility of healthcare Web portals. Findings from this pilot study seemed to indicate that the {"}error prevention{"} usability heuristic was most severely violated in two healthcare Web portals. The paper then concludes with implications on design of user-centred healthcare digital libraries.",
