With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web and the development of hierarchical web sites, it has become difficult for users to get an overview of the contents and structure of web sites because of their growing size and complexity. To alleviate this problem, an application called WebTOC was developed at the Human Computer Interaction Lab(HCIL) at the University of Maryland. This application provides a graphical description of the hierarchy of a web site and gives a breakdown of the types of data available at the site (text, video, audio, etc.). The paper presents a study comparing WebTOC with a textual table of contents and no contents page. This experiment found no statistically significant differences between interfaces, but we suspect the main factor in this result is the limited availability of subjects (21 subjects altogether - only seven subjects were tested per treatment). The subjective satisfaction surveys showed a preference for WebTOC. This paper presents a number of lessons learned and makes several recommendations for further study of WebTOC.
