Digital Libraries currently focus on delivering documents. Since information needs are often satisfied at the sub-document
level, digital libraries should explore ways to support document use as well as retrieval. This paper describes the design
and initial evaluation of a technology being developed for document use. It uses interactive visualization of paragraph level
metadata to allow rapid goal-directed search and navigation within documents. An experimental evaluation of a prototype’s
performance on representative work tasks is described. Quantitative analysis finds that the prototype does not increase performance.
However, qualitative analysis of the data suggests that there is room for performance improvements and has inspired design
changes to realize this potential.
