TL;DR: The genres that are arising on the World-Wide Web are examined as a foil for discussing the interaction between hypermedia design practice, hypermedia technology, and the types of hyperdocuments that evolve.
Abstract: The World-Wide Web has greatly increased the number of hypermedia designers and practitioners—the people who read and write, and otherwise use, hypermedia in their day-to-day activities. Through practice, they have developed new communicative forms: a set of hypermedia document genres. We examine the genres that are arising on the World-Wide Web as a foil for discussing the interaction between hypermedia design practice, hypermedia technology, and the types of hyperdocuments that evolve. The Web creates a particularly fertile environment for looking at such interactions, since the technology is familiar, examples abound, and evolution is rapid.

TL;DR: This work considers issues arising from the creation of digital libraries based on physical objects, focusing particularly on the characteristics of botanical herbaria and their users.
Abstract: Physicrd objects are the foundation for many of today’s areas of scholarship, research, and education. Beeause physical objects are tangible, any digital representation of one is an approximation of the object, Knowing how to approximate requires an understanding of the work practices and needs of the library’s constituencies. We consider issues arising from the creation of digital libraries based on physical objects, focusing particularly on the characteristics of botanical herbaria and their users.
