“…Alternatively would more note-taking in fact indicate that reading is being interrupted and users are calling more on notes to support a reading task that has been made more complex? In order to obtain a principled model for our study, we have drawn strongly upon Shipman's analysis of VKB [24] who faced similar problems: the correct interpretation of artefacts and metrics for the task was imperfectly understood.…”

Attentive reading is a complex and cognitively demanding task that uses note-taking and annotation to support the reader's interpretation of the document. When reading on paper, extensive use of highlighting and other activities are conducted to support the reading process, but this rich behaviour is not used with digital documents. Many users therefore print digital documents and then interact with them in physical form. This paper presents the Digital Reading Desk, an enhanced digital reading environment that provides support for attentive digital reading, providing a large working space for notes that mimics the use of desk space in a conventional physical environment. The Reading Desk uses a single tool to support both annotation and bookmarking, simplifying both the user's learning of the system and their later selection of tools. Evaluation of the Reading Desk indicates preference for it, as well as considerable behavioral dierences between our approach and traditional digital reading tools.

“…Web document object with two object layers uses the system layer's visual attributes to provide cues, hints, or suggestions without interfering with user expression. We developed this extension in response to previous study results that suggested users were reluctant to express their own interpretations once the system had applied its own visualizations to objects [28]. Figure 3 illustrates a triage scenario.…”

For open-ended information tasks, users must sift through many potentially relevant documents, a practice we refer to as document triage. Normally, people perform triage using multiple applications in concert: a search engine interface presents lists of potentially relevant documents; a document reader displays their contents; and a third tool-a text editor or personal information management application-is used to record notes and assessments. To support document triage, we have developed an extensible multi-application architecture that initially includes an information workspace and a document reader. An Interest Profile Manager infers users' interests from their interactions with the triage applications, coupled with the characteristics of the documents they are interacting with. The resulting interest profile is used to generate visualizations that direct users' attention to documents or parts of documents that match their inferred interests. The novelty of our approach lies in the aggregation of activity records across applications to generate fine-grained models of user interest.

For open‐ended information tasks, users must determine how to best use their time in sifting through many potentially relevant documents. Document triage is the process of rapidly assessing the potential value of documents with respect to the task at hand. Normally, people perform triage using multiple applications in concert: a search engine interface presents lists of potentially relevant documents; a document reader displays their contents; and a third tool—a text editor or a more specialized application—is used to record notes and assessments. To support document triage, we have developed a multi‐application environment that combines an information workspace with a modified document reader. This environment infers users' interests based on their interactions with both applications, coupled with an analysis of the characteristics and content of the documents they are interacting with. It then uses this interest profile to generate visualizations that bring users' attention to documents or parts of documents that match those inferred interests.
