ABSTRACT
I report briefly on some of my own work in each of these areas and elucidate some of the questions that this research has raised. Then I propose as a research agenda the development of a digital library environment containing a suite of inter-related tools specifically designed to facilitate non-sequential access to portions of full-text books and other relatively long documents.
