Hybrid documents ease text corpus analysis for literary scholars

Published:07 November 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present a study that explores how literary scholars interact with physical and digital documents in their daily work. Motivated by findings from this study, we propose refactoring the working environment of our target audience to improve the integration of digital material into established paper-centric processes. This is largely facilitated through the use of hybrid documents, i.e., cross-modal compound documents that employ a printed book for rich, tangible interaction in tandem with a digital component for matching interactive augmentation on a digital workbench. The results from two user studies in which we evaluated increasingly detailed prototypes demonstrate that this design offers better support for central workflows in literary studies than currently prevalent approaches.
