✦ Synopsis
Electronic 'hyperbooks' are a very different medium from conventional print and require a different relationship between the reader and the information presented. As a result, authors and designers must think differently about how best to organise and access knowledgetpresented electronically. Conv~fftional models of human-computer interaction provide some guidance but there is not yet an adequate body of performance data to describe the optimal ways to organise and retrieve information in hyperbooks. However, cognitive psychology provides some models that suggest design solutions. This paper discusses one such solution in the context of three current projects: a large hypermedia encyclopedia, a mid-sized corporate procedure manual, and a small trade book.
