Abstract :
The Arizona Analyst Information System (AAIS) is a hypertext tool for entry, retrieval, and analysis of textual information in a multiuser, multitask, collaborative environment. The authors examine the experience of using the AAIS for the cooperative creation, use, and maintenance of a large textual database. The main questions considered are the performance of users as direct participants in the database building process, and the way in which the AAIS design facilitates joint use of information.<>
