Research Project:
New Human-computer Interaction Techniques
for the Digital Library
Introduction
We seek to invent new human-computer interaction techniques
for interacting with digital libraries in the future.
Our project,
A Digital Library for the Humanities,
sponsored by the National Science Foundation and National Endowment for the Humanities,
under the DLI-2 program,
seeks to expand the range and kind of humanities material in the digital library
and builds on the work of the highly successful Perseus Digital Library
at Tufts University.
One part of this project is a collaboration
between Computer Science,
Psychology,
and Classics,
in which we are attempting
to devise new interaction techniques
that users may someday use for reading the information in the library.
We are focusing on
ways of using and communicating spatial information
as an ancillary aspect of the text material in the library.
