Yang, Shu Ching

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v48 n7 p667-69 Jul 1997

This study examines six cases of information-seeking behavior in the conduct of discourse synthesis in Perseus 1.0, a Greek history hypermedia database. Discourse synthesis refers to the process in which learners integrate their ideas, with information selected from multiple source texts within Perseus, to compose new texts. (JMK)
