Abstract
Students performed a variety of tasks using a statistics text presented either in conventional printed form or via the text browser “SuperBook” (Remde, Gomez and Landauer [18]). Students using SuperBook answered more search questions correctly, wrote higher quality “open-book” essays, and recalled certain incidental information better than students using the conventional text. Subjective ratings overwhelmingly favored SuperBook. The advantage of SuperBook appears to be particularly strong for questions that are not anticipated by the author's organization of a text.

This paper explores fisheye views presenting, in turn, naturalistic studies, a general formalism, a specific instantiation, a resulting computer program, example displays and an evaluation.

107 Citations1988B. Smith John, F. Weiss Stephen
High-cost high-capacity storage devices are making widespread computerized access to existing reference texts a reality, and computerization presents new opportunities in advanced representations of such documents, for both storage and display.
SuperBook
79 Citations1987Joel R. Remde, Louis M. Gomez +1 more
Although SuperBook and hypertext share common goals of improved search and navigation, SuperBook is designed for accessing existing documents while most hypertext systems are better suited for authoring new information structures.
Document Examiner
75 Citations1987Janet H. Walker
The user interface strategy of Document Examiner, a delivery interface for commercial hypertext documents, does not adopt the directed graph as its fundamental user-visible navigation model, but offers context evaluation and content-based searching capabilities that are based on consideration of the strategies that people use in interacting with paper documents.
