Abstract(s)
MyShelf is an information system for browsing based on the metaphor of a virtual library shelf. Like a traditional library shelf, it allows the exploration of the neighborhood of a document. Neighborhood represents semantic closeness which usually has many facets. In MyShelf, the ordering system of a shelf can be changed and the collection is reorganized on the fly. As a consequence, different neighbor-hoods of a document can be explored which al-lows the selection of an appropriate cognitive perspective. The user can rely more on the as-sociative nature of browsing in order to solve his vague information needs. An implementa-tion for information science content and its evaluation with user tests is presented.
