Abstract

This paper describes a study conducted to investigate whether the "lost in hyperspace" problem is prevalent in digital libraries. Our study suggested that users still experienced different forms and degrees of "lostness". In our on-going work, we are developing a framework to build user-centred digital libraries, thus ameliorating the "lost in hyperspace" problem.
