.... can have difficulty reading, typing, spelling, and are continually changing in their interests and abilities [15] 35] 41] 45] Novel work in the HCI community has produced numerous approaches to visualizing searches and their results that may offer new opportunities for children [2] 22] [23] [30] However, there are definite limitations to these systems when children are the users. Many interfaces are cognitively challenging due to abstract representations of Boolean search methods and the need to read result lists or query labels [15] While there is an emerging and significant ....

....hypermedia documents will be insufficient to meet the curriculum needs of future library patrons. While adaptive hypermedia approaches will mitigate some of the complexity, other techniques such as multivalent documents (see [14 16] and advanced user interfaces such as Lenses and NaviQue, see [17 19]) will be needed. Another promising technique for reducing complexity is Walden s Paths [20] which guides the user through a body of material. Educators can simply build paths through a collection of documents where the path consists of metadocuments. These meta documents are composed of other ....

....him to express his navigation task in a visual way. Context maps also allow users to focus on a subspace of exploration, while keeping some semantic contexts in the peripheral perception. Task context The information seeking environment should visually represent users tasks (visual reification [10]) so that they are aware of the status of each task, the resources each requires, and most importantly are stimulated to act upon them. There are two types of task maps employed in Isytravel. The first one (reported in [19] consists of an interactive real time world map where users can select ....

....get up to, in a digital library. Searching for interesting articles is often the first thing that comes to mind when considering digital libraries. However, as is being increasingly recognised, searching is not just a case of entering a search term and viewing a list of results. Furnas and Rauch [9] found that in searching for information a one shot query is very rare. More typical is an extended and iterative search which involves opportunism; that is, the searching evolves over a period of time and relies on users being able to follow new (interesting) paths as they appear, which may not ....

....conducted by Covi and Kling [7] relied solely on interviews to assess peoples perceptions and use of digital libraries. As with other techniques, a more holistic approach involving other study techniques may provide more comprehensive results. Approaches such as those employed by Furnas and Rauch [9] show this combination as they use interviews to inform further observation of people using digital libraries. In contrast Marshall et al. 13] used interviews to follow up other techniques such as examination of transaction logs their interviews were less structured and allowed analysts to ....

....will review a small sample of related systems and how Garnet differs in comparison to them. 3.1 Visual Interfaces for Digital Libraries Visual interfaces specifically designed for Digital Libraries already exist. Three such interfaces which have similar objectives to Garnet are DLITE [2] NaviQue[4] and SketchTrieve[5] All three systems are intended to give coherent access to a number of information services (e.g. content search, author indexes etc) and sources (different collections from a number of libraries) and represent separate searches as discrete objects in a 2 dimensional ....

....as separate objects, indeed document sets do not exist in any explicit form at all except as search result lists. In common with DLITE, SketchTrieves workspace is an artifact repository; no advanced facilities exist to leverage these artifacts with current work. 3.1. 3 NaviQue NaviQue [4] has a number of superficial similarities to DLITE. In addition, however, it is influenced by the work of Bedersen et al. on the Pad zoom able spatial hypertext. The workspace can itself directly hold documents, which are displayed in their normal rendered manner (though the use of zooming may ....

....to connect the idea that changes to the query criteria on the side of the screen result in changes to the visualization of the query results. On the other hand, a somewhat more concrete approach is NaviQue, developed at the University of Michigan as a part of their Digital Libraries initiative [10]. With this system, there is no separate space for query results; any object can be used to launch a query. A user simply selects one or more objects and that becomes the query. Then by dragging that data set over another collection of objects, a similarity based search is launched. The results of ....
