Abstract

Much research in information retrieval has focused more on matching results to queries than on browsing those results. After briefly exploring browsing in physical and electronic libraries, we introduce SortTables, a new system that focuses on support for browsing. We explore the evolution of the system in light of early implementation experience and formative evaluation of the interface. Finally, we briefly review related work, and discuss future directions.
