Abstract

This paper explores the potential usefulness and acceptability of annotation facilities by prospective users of an IT research digital library. We studied current annotation and note-taking behavior of IT researchers (academic and commercial), as exhibited at IT conferences. Here, we examine the implications of this information behavior for the design of annotation tools in a research-oriented digital library.
