Greene, Stephan; Marchionini, Gary; Plaisant, Catherine; Shneiderman, Ben – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 2000
Presents a framework for the design of information representations in terms of previews and overviews, to aid designers of digital library interfaces. Defines previews and overviews, as graphic or textual representations of information abstracted from primary information objects, analogous to bibliographic records and catalogs; and describes four…

Tse, Tony; Vegh, Sandor; Shneiderman, Ben; Marchionini, Gary – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop research methods to compare the effectiveness of two video browsing interface designs, or surrogates--one static (storyboard) and one dynamic (slide show)--on two distinct information seeking tasks (gist determination and object recognition).

Marchionini, Gary; Mu, Xiangming – Information Processing & Management, 2003
Describes a series of user studies used to advance understanding of how people use electronic tables (E-tables) and inform the development of a Web-based statistical table browser for use by non-specialists. Results of needs assessment, prototype development, and user studies provide a foundation for understanding E-tables in general and guiding…
