摘要:
Electronic books have become an important mechanism for the dissemination of large volume of multimedia and hypermedia information. The utility of books of this sort depends very much upon the use of efficient and effective end-user interfaces that embed appropriate book-related metaphors. In this paper the use of such metaphors is discussed and some experiments aimed evaluating the utility of the book metaphor with respect to reading and referencing tasks are then described. A case study (the Book Emulator) is presented which illustrates how information technology can be used to create online books and lectures for use in university teaching. The paper concludes with a short discussion of some possible future directions of development for electronic books, that add enhancements to the basic book metaphor and which will enable easier and more widespread access to publications of this sort.
