Abstract
This study reviews several database menu structure for pc communication services to examine the efficiency of database menu structure. Database menu systems of 5 major pc communication companies were analyzed by GOMS methodology, a description of the knowledge that a user must have in order to carry out tasks on system. Also, each database access time of 4 pc communication companies were measured with internet pc environment in laboratory. It is recommened that another menu design strategies (for example, broad-shallow rather than narrow-deep) should be adopted because current menu structures have inefficient procedures to access those database.
