TLDR
The practice of annotation in a particular situation is examined: the markings students make in university-level textbooks, and their status within a community of fellow textbook readers is examined.Abstract:
Readers annotate paper books as a routine part of their engagement with the materials; it is a useful practice, manifested through a wide variety of markings made in service of very different purposes. This paper examines the practice of annotation in a particular situation: the markings students make in university-level textbooks. The study focuses on the form and function of these annotations, and their status within a community of fellow textbook readers. Using this study as a basis, I discuss issues and implications for the design of annotation tools for a digital library setting.read more

Textlets: Supporting Constraints and Consistency in Text Documents
TL;DR: It is argued that Textlets serve as a generative concept for creating powerful new tools for document editing by showing how they help manage consistency and constraints within the document, including selective search and replace, word count, and alternative wording.
Using and modeling context with ontology in e-learning: the case of teacher's personal annotation
TL;DR: This article defines a context ontology of teacher's personal annotation, in order to use it in a context-aware annotation tool "MemoNote", and develops completely teacher's annotation context annotation ontology using the classical method specified for Protege.

A comparison of reading paper and on-line documents
Kenton O'Hara,Abigail Sellen +1 more
TL;DR: A laboratory study that compares reading from paper to reading on-line finds critical differences that allow readers to deepen their understanding of the text, extract a sense of its structure, create a plan for writing, cross-refer to other documents, and interleave reading and writing.

A history of reading
TL;DR: The authors argues that it is the demands and expectations of the reader, acting alongside the creative will of the writer, that is the evolutionary motor of literary forms and genres, from man's first use of the written word simply as a form of reference, to the emergence of the first holy or devotional texts, and onto the development of fictions, both poetic and novelistic, aiming to both challenge and enlighten.

TL;DR: A pen-based interface is described that acquires information about ambiguity and precision from freehand input, represents it internally, and echoes it to users visually and through constraint based edit behavior.
