Navigating information space: web site design and lessons from the built environment. (2006)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (2006). Navigating information space: web site design and lessons from the built environment. PsychNology journal, 4, 7-24

The Web is the archetypal information space but even on a well designed site it can be difficult to find all the information you need. It is impossible to design a site so that all the information needs of all the users of the site are satisfied on a...
