Summary of Workshop on Document Search Interface Design at the JCDL'02 Javed Mostafa Yngve Associate Professor of Information Science Associate Professor of Informatics Indiana University, Bloomington On July 18th, 2002 the First Workshop on Document Search Interface Design and Intelligent Access took place at the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries, Portland, Oregon. Seven papers were selected for presentation, and about 20 people were in attendance. The papers presented at the workshop can be grouped under three broad categories: 1) enhanced interaction and interface support, 2) domain-centric analysis of search needs, and 3) behavioral analysis of search and user interaction. French et al. presented a paper that falls under the first category. Their proposal is for supporting enhanced searching by allowing users to specify and refine queries based on multiple viewpoints. Viewpoints are different contexts of the same collection that emphasize different aspects of the content. In the same category was a paper by Wu et al. concentrating on a specific interface design feature, namely Table of Content view of collections, which can be used to organize large hit sets into hierarchical displays for locating desired information quickly and more accurately. Harper andMuresan's paper focused on interaction and interface
