Its goal is to give guidelines on how to design usable hypermedia documents and structured content. Both aspects of the term "hypermedia" are thoroughly covered, namely hypertext (non-sequential text) and multimedia (rich graphical and interactive content). Elements of Hypermedia Design will be of interest and utility to a broad spectrum of professionals in information systems, web-site design, multimedia interface designers, CD-ROM developers, and education multimedia designers.
