Abstract
Abstract Six spatial and three typographic coding systems were used to give 18 different styles of presentation for bibliographies. Two experiments are reported: in Experiment 1 a list of authors’ surnames was attached to each bibliography and subjects were asked to find as many as possible of the corresponding entries in 45 seconds; in Experiment 2 lists of titles were used with a time limit of 1 minute 45 seconds. Analysis of variance indicated that spatial coding was more effective than typographic coding in Experiment 1, whereas the reverse was true for Experiment 2. The advantages of the different coding systems are discussed in the light of the results obtained.
