Annotation: From Paper Books to the Digital Library. Marshall, C. C In Proceedings of the ACM Digital Libraries '97 Conference, pages 131–140, July, 1997.
abstract   bibtex   
Readers annotate paper books as a routine part of their engagement with the materials; it is a useful practice, manifested through a wide variety of markings made in service of very different purposes. This paper examines the practice of annotation in a particular situation: the markings students make in university-level textbooks. The study focuses on the form and function of these annotations, and their status within a community of fellow textbook readers. Using this study as a basis, I discuss issues and implications for the design of annotation tools for a digital library setting.
