    Abstract
    Describes the development and installation of a hypermedia system for student use at the University of Texas-Pan Americ library which provides information out the library's resources and was developed to provide an alternative to existing printed materials. Describes the prototype system and the icon-based system developed in response to problems identified with the prototype. Shows how the icons were created and navigation and orientation throughout the system using a topic hierarchy and use of the index

    Abstract
    Document retrieval is a highly interactive process dealing with large amounts of information. Visual representations can provide both a means for managing the complexity of large information structures and an interface style well suited to interactive manipulation. The system we have designed utilizes visually displayed graphic structures and a direct manipulation interface style to supply an integrated environment for retrieval. A common visually displayed network structure is used for query, document content, and term relations. A query can be modified through direct manipulation of its visual form by incorporating terms from any other information structure the system displays. An associative thesaurus of terms and an inter-document network provide information about a document collection that can complement other retrieval aids. Visualization of these large data structures makes use of fisheye views and overview diagrams to help overcome some of the inherent difficulties of orientation and navigation in large information structures.
