ABSTRACT

The power of hypertext stems chiefly from the complex networks of conceptual links which hypertext documents can render explicit. This paper describes an array of orientation tools which help readers to choose a course through a complex information network without undue confusion or discomfort, while retaining the excitement and spontaneity users often experience when exploring complex information environments.
