  Please turn in the following ALL AT ONCE to simplify record keeping
  Please send to 4624e@fox.cs.vt.edu with "4624 IN ex." on Subject line.
  1. email the URL of your home page to the instructor, or the actual HTML file you would like to have as your home page if you want the instructor to set it up for you on ei.cs.vt.edu
  2. email a short prose overview of each of the StorySpace webs. In each, give a summary of the content of the web (i.e., what information is discussed, in what form, with what style) and on the convenience / usability / organization of the hypertext.
  3. email URLs and/or title+year of reports/articles by the instructor that you find with each of three systems: MARIAN and two of the several available TR systems. Please explain briefly what you like best about each of those 3 systems.
     HINTS: Note that catalogers sometimes use various forms for names. When using MARIAN, try a few queries. For one of those, use the last name in the Author field and some word like information in the Title field. Think about how useful a single initial in a name is likely to be before using one, or whether "E.A." might work better.
