In terms of the Throwaway passage that I have been using as an example, some of the questions regarding annotation would apply in print or in a digital format. But others apply mainly to a digital presentation, or take on different connotations on the screen.
| Should information be presented differently for first-time readers than for later ones? If so, how can this be done? |
As the answers to questions 1 and 2 indicate, in a hypermedia presentation the note aimed at beginning readers should present only the barest factual information. More elaborate options, such as highlighting the relationship of Bloom's remark to the horses in the race (as Don Gifford's* first note does) or indicating what Bloom has inadvertently conveyed with his remark (as does Gifford's second note), or presenting the annotator's interpretive spin on the passage (as Declan Kiberd* does in his note), can be reserved for the notes aimed at more advanced readers.
