- Abstract
- Describes a method for navigating and learning from a complex, content-based hypermedia system. Employs HyperGlyphs a semiotically-relevant graphics for depicting information in the knowledge base. The interface in any system needs to rationally support the task being performed by providng access to system functionality in a logical simple way

- Abstract
- Discusses research issues related to the utilization of cognitive learning and instructional theory to design technology-based learning environments such as hypertext and hypermedia. A Theory-To-Design framework is a sketch which considers 2 main roles for theory: theory construction and testing and prescriptive artifact design. Another component of the framework posits that technology based learning environments employing a particular theoretical perspective should link theory elements to specific design features. The Theory-To-Design framework is then used as the basis of an analysis of theoretical and design issues raised in a recent hypermedia research project

- Abstract
- A major difficulty of query writing for databases is that users do not fully understand queries. Proposes a system providing feedback to enable users to better understand their queries. It is a multi-functional rule-based system. In addition to providing an English translation for the query, it pin-points syntax errors, and suggests possible solutions. Finds likely semantic errors, and provides possible solutions. The system was implemented for a query language based on the entity relationship model. It is expected to lead to better user performance. Empirical testing showed significant improvement in user performance with the feedback system. The system can be used for computer-aided training and in actual operation

- Abstract
- Techniques to aid the manipulation of a computer based document were tested by a group of 38 novice users. The subjects were given a period of time to browse the document, and were subsequently given a set of goal related tasks in a questionnaire/answer session. The techniques tested were sequential paging, index referral, text fins and embedded hypertext links. 3 differing types of link mechansms were assessed and compared with each other. Sequential paging and index referral were the most commonly used of the techniques. Text find was employed more for goal related tasks than for browsing. The hypertext link technique was generally unpopular, especially for goal related tasks. In order to establish the importance of the text find technique, the effect on reading strategies without this facility was also investigated. For browsing operations, an increase in paging and decrease in hypertext linking was observed. In the case of goal directed searching, an increase was observed in paging and index referral techniques. The study calls into question the usefulness of hypertext in educational software

- Abstract
- At the start of the academic year reference staff are hard pressed to provide sufficient assistance to first time users of CD-ROMs, who have missed bibliographic instruction classes, or who need more guidance before searching. The literature on CD-ROMs was reviewed, and a survey conducted to estimate the training needs of searchers. It was found that 100% of the inexperienced searchers required assistance while searching, and 50% of their search strategies were later rated as poor. More than half the experienced searchers also needed the librarians assistance, and 31% of this group demonstrated a poor understanding of searching techniques. The survey findings were incorporated into CDIntro, a computer assisted learning package designed by the authors

- Abstract
- Describes the development of a periodicals self help instruction program written in HyperCard for the Macintosh by the Science and Medicine Library of the University of Toronto, Canada. The program explains the general concepts of how to search for article citations in periodical indexes; and how to find locations for periodicals in the online catalogue. Preliminary testing has shown that many people use the program but there has been no discernible impact on the number of periodical questions at the Reference Desk. A more detailed study of user response needs to be undertaken to learn if the tutorial should be revised
