....orientation tool is the link marker which acts as a signpost to tell the user what links can be immediately followed and what links have just been traversed. Another useful orientation tool is the book mark, allowing readers to mark a page to which they can return to on demand when feeling lost [Ber88] Readers may also mark pages which were already visited in order to avoid repetition; such marks are called bread crumbs [Ber88] Maps, webs and overview diagrams give readers a more global context by displaying to them links which are at a further distance than just one link from the current ....

Moreover, by highlighting the reader s history the reader can backtrack his her steps to a previously browsed page. Maps ....

....start and end is not a carefully contemplated decision. In short, the wellstructured hypertext of the writer is not the kind of hypertext created by the reader. Emphasis. Emphasis is not a characteristic we normally associate with hypertext, although the notion of bookmarks and bread crumbs (see [1]) or visual markings in spatial hypertext (see [18] may come close. Emphasis is the practice of making extra marks next to some (hyper)textual element (usually an anchor, or less commonly, by a handwritten note in the margin) to indicate This is important. This annotative practice is ubiquitous ....

....by providing a mechanism to quickly return to a previous node by selecting it from a list. Alreadyvisited cues indicate that a node has been previously visited, and is useful for helping users avoid undesired repetition, and for guiding them to familiar territory from their current 15 position (Bernstein, 1988). The two remaining history mechanisms require explicit specification by the user. Paths create an association amongst a sequence of nodes, while personalized lists of nodes allow the user to record interesting places in the hypertext. 2.1.1 Backtracking Backtracking allows the user to visit ....

....to the current session; the user can scroll through articles accessed days or perhaps years ago. Also, it is a truly linear mapping of the user s path through the article, for the system adds a history item every time the article is visited that is, duplicates are not removed (Nielsen, 1995) Bernstein s (1988) Hypergate system also offers the user a menu of recently visited pages from which they may jump directly to any page in the menu. The length of the menu is limited to thirty pages. Figure 2.1. History list from Hypertext 87 Trip Report (Nielsen, 1995, p. 30) 17 The Symbolics Lisp environment ....

.... Other techniques are based on the aggregation of nodes [Crouch89] Another body of research led to visual tools such as overview diagrams or maps that help users navigate through complex hypermedia structures [Halasz87, Yankelovich88] Other works have extended maps by providing footprints [Bernstein88], which help users know where they are, where they come from and where they can go. Although the purpose of overview diagrams was to help users navigate a complex hypertext, most research was conducted on hierarchical structures or on restricted substructures. For example, Notecards [Halasz87] ....

.... WORK Providing visual tools such as overview diagrams or maps is usually considered as an efficient way of helping users navigate through complex hypermedia structures [Halasz87, Yankelovich88] Maps or overview diagrams can also be extended by providing additionnal visual cues such as footprints [Bernstein88], which help users know where they are, where they come from and where they can go. Surprisingly, overview diagrams are rarely used at the early stage of hypermedia design. Macweb [Nanard91] is one of the few examples of hypermedia systems where overview diagrams are used from the early stage of ....
