Peer reviewedGreene, Stephan; Marchionini, Gary; Plaisant, Catherine; Shneiderman, Ben – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 2000
Presents a framework for the design of information representations in terms of previews and overviews, to aid designers of digital library interfaces. Defines previews and overviews, as graphic or textual representations of information abstracted from primary information objects, analogous to bibliographic records and catalogs; and describes four…

Peer reviewedMarchionini, Gary – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1989
Discussion of the process involved in information seeking focuses on studies of high school students that were conducted to determine how mental models for a print encyclopedia are adapted to a full-text electronic encyclopedia. Three case studies are analyzed, and recommendations for designers of electronic encyclopedias and instructional…
