Abstract
This chapter discusses the design of a large-scale, interactive, computer-based document storage and retrieval system. Using both teletype and CRT display scopes in an on-line time-shared environment, the user can browse and/or search through a store of documents and have the abstracts displayed for his review. The chapter highlights the possibilities offered by direct, interactive computer aids for improving human intellectual effectiveness. It also describes a predominantly empirical approach in which the development of experimental computer aids is limited explicitly to those that can serve a small user community composed of the researchers themselves. The chapter also discusses the production of concordances and lexico-syntactical aids to literary study, and orthographical and paleographical aids to textual study.
