Abstract :
Random access collections of information are not new: books, magazines, and newspapers are effective ways to package and deliver information that can be scanned, indexed, and searched. The explosion of hypertext media in the last several years, especially the World Wide Web, has been accompanied by lots of ranting about new paradigms and a revolution in information delivery. We look at some of the pros and cons of hypertext, and then get into some specific examples of effective techniques to deliver information to users effectively
