....the clippings. XLibris was used for a number of studies of active reading, which Schilit et al. defines as combining reading with critical thinking and learning [SGP98] In one study with members of a reading group, users did not find the clippings of the text they annotated particularly valuable [MPG99]. Microsoft Word is a good example of a commercial document authoring program that has an annotation feature and stores annotations in its own internal document format. Word s commenting feature allows users to annotate any part of a document with a comment. Word comments are displayed with author ....

....a user typically does some work with it (not necessarily immediately afterwards) otherwise, there would be no point in finding it in the first place. Amongst the activities associated with working with documents are reading and annotating them. One important finding about reading activity [1, 2, 13] is that people do not simply read articles from beginning to end, but rather move between levels of information for example, from authors and titles to reading the conclusion. Current digital libraries available via the web are, for various reasons, limited in terms of the kinds of reading ....

....of users after they have completed tasks with digital libraries. These questionnaires gave extensive details of users perceptions of the digital libraries used, but again, they provide no means of assessing the rationale for users perceptions why they felt as they did. Several studies, e.g. [2, 3, 13], employed transaction logs to gain an understanding of the activities users were engaging in with digital libraries. These logs give quantitative accounts of user actions and so can be used to make statements such as (about 5 ) took advantage of the ability to search for terms in individual ....

....obvious links to precedent. If a student sees the same citation over and over again, referenced from multiple cases, it may well be valuable for current work. Students kept lists of cases to look for next or annotated case printouts with proposed follow up citations. As we saw in an earlier study [12], these potentially interesting references may not be pursued, given limitations of time and attention. Second, they evaluated citations, not just by looking at them, but by investigating if they are still good law whether, for example, they have been overturned and whether they are ....

....two iterations I guess. Figure 2. A reader s asterisk. The reader plans to revisit material associated with this mark. It is notable that the students can articulate their own marking strategies. Many annotators are unaccustomed (and sometimes unable) to explaining their annotation practices [12]. However the law students had reflected on their own annotation practices and those of their peers. For example, one student said of her own marking strategy: Usually with the cases, I try to write facts, issue. I ll write issue next to the issue. It replaces briefing. Book briefing [an ....

....with XLibris Forward Anywhere suggested several potentially interesting design changes and additions. Much may be done with collaborative use of freeform digital ink annotations. It is possible to share the annotations themselves, or, for a variety of reasons, just the passages themselves [14]. Collaboration in reading hyperfiction introduces an interesting tension between individual discovery and collective understanding. Following someone else s path through a hypertext may be as revealing of the reader s interpretation of the work as it is of the author s. We are exploring the ....
